In the broadcast, which featured his siblings, friends, and close associates, Layal said: “His most admirable quality is his authenticity. He’s never pretended to be somebody that he’s not.

I’ve always admired his ability to connect with people from all walks of life, whether in a room full of strangers or with his close friends.

“He’s always had this way of making people feel comfortable and making himself relatable. We met on Facebook, actually. I wouldn’t say there was a pickup line per se, but how he carried himself drew me to him. He was confident, yet easygoing. And he had this effortless charm. He didn’t even really need to try too hard. He always finds a way to bring people along with him.”
