i cant stop thinking about your kindness and how you could never speak ill about another . You were the light in a dark room for most of us at hj , doesnt matter how hard times got you always kept a positive attitude and you were the funniest and most real and loyal friend to have . I miss having elective classes with you , flying our stem planes together , waiting for the bus together , and and being around you in general . I cant belive its been almost a year since i last seen you and i cant not think about my last time seeing you. I miss you anwar and you will live in my heart always and forever . LLA 💙💛💙
Even though I didn't talk to him, it was still fun having him in keyboarding. Being the loudest in the class and laughing with the entire row was the highlight of my day.- Enzo J.

Anwar was a very nice person, he always lit up any room he walked into. During jag football season me, him and our friend group would always hang out before he played. He would always say some of the funniest things and made everyone laugh. His presence made any environment light up. If you ever needed help he was always there with a lending hand. The last memory i had with Anwar was him calling me an "L cousin" that was my nickname for him. Your name will never be forgotten Anwar, everyone loves and misses you. Fly high angel❤️!

Condolences to the family.
Me and Anwar would always bicker but most of the time it ended with a good laugh. He would always say how I had a square face and I would yell back "WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME!" Even that situation ended with a good laugh. I remember he would ask for water and I wouldn't give him mine because I only brought one, but if I could go back I would give him all the water I had even if I was dying of thirst. At the end of the day he was in my WIN group and he would come up to me and my friends and just stand there, when we asked him why he would just tell us he's Board and start dancing. I will forever miss him and his funny jokes.

my name is marissa bargneare anwar was a very good friend of mine, but we especially got close last year. I would go to all of his jaguars games and since im a cheerleader for hj macdonald middle, i would always put his number on my face during football season. we also had all of the same classes. He was a energetic, humorous, athletic, and intelligent young man and he will never be forgotten. im very very thankful for the moments i had with him and will forever cherish them. i send all my prayers out to his family and hope they are doing well.
Anwar was a talented young man with lots of potential to be successful, he was a cool friend and really funny, he was such a ball of energy at some times, and we'll all miss that very much. Me and my family are sending prayers, please stay strong for him!
My last memory of Anwar was laughing at a joke he made. He always knew how to light up a room. Him and his family will be kept in my prayers.
Me and him would always go back and forth bickering like siblings.. I remember after we had taken our benchmarks he stuck his foot out and tried to trip me. I saw his foot though and walked right into without falling. He was so shocked and started to call me Strong ankles.. we never stopped laughing about that. Even on his last day at school when he was in pain he still had the strength to joke me about it one last time! He'll forever be in our hearts!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
