The Dawood family have shared a tear-jerking tribute, saying the father and son shared a passion for adventure 😢
Glasgow student Suleman Dawood and his dad Shahzada have moved on to the "next leg of their spiritual journey hand-in-hand", their grief-stricken family have said.
Strathclyde University earlier told Glasgow Live they were 'shocked and saddened' following the tragedy.Suleman lived in London with his dad, mum Christine and sister Alina and was studying in Glasgow where he had just finished his first year at university. "The relationship between Shahzada and Suleman was a joy to behold; they were each other’s greatest supporters and cherished a shared passion for adventure and exploration of all the world had to offer them. This unwavering curiosity built the foundation for a close friendship between the two and inspired those around them to develop a similar passion for learning.
"On this count, Shahzada was consistent – he encouraged everyone around him to elevate their capabilities by learning and trying new things to become better versions of themselves. He was constantly excited to learn more about the world around him and was an ardent animal lover – he had two pets, a dog named Stig and a cat named Proteus, who would sometimes make their presence felt in videoconference meetings that Shahzada was part of.
"He loved science fiction literature and volleyball but his greatest quality was the humility he espoused which was a true reflection of his parents’ upbringing. He was keenly aware of the past efforts of his family that enabled him to have the experiences he did, and he never took them for granted; he remained grounded and humble and emotionally wise beyond his years.
