Idris. You were more than a colleague and friend to me, you were the big brother I never had. I will always hold on to the advice you gave me, how you made me feel the most welcome out of everybody when I joined Sacred Heart, our lockdown workouts in the park with Rach and Isaac, and you always hiding my stuff whenever you taught in my classroom. You’re in a better place now, I can feel it. All my love, blessings and prayers to all your friends, family and loved ones. Insha’Allah until we meet again big bro.

I have known Idris for at least 16yrs. We spent many occasions competing around the country against each other. We probably have equal amounts of victories over each other. On the track he was a tough rival for me but we had so much respect for each other. Off the track he is somebody I have an enormous amount of respect for. I am sadden that this situation we are facing right now doesn't allow us to truly come together and mourn the loss of one of our warriors. But I hope and pray that all of his loved ones can be comforted during these times. Rest well king..

For the 10 years that I've known Idris, he was always bright-eyed, and either grinning, laughing, or getting empassioned about Arsenal. From my very beginnings in the industry, you always showed me love and support, for which I am eternally grateful.

Some people we meet on this journey called Life, are unforgettable, and some are life changing. You were both to me. I can't reflect on my early years treating, without you playing a significant role in my memories. It's hard to believe that you're gone, but thank God for the time that we were given with you.

To your family and Rachelle, none of us can begin to imagine your loss. Our hearts are heavy, but it can't begin to compare to your emotion. Thank you for making and nurturing this gift to the world. May God bless and keep you during this time.

My big brother Idris. You've been a huge inspiration, helped and supported me so much in my life. Was always on the other end of the phone when I needed advice or someone to talk to. I've really been struggling, I'm gonna miss you bro but know I'm gonna do my best to make you proud. Rest in Power King

I still can’t believe you’re gone.
Just a few days ago I saw you, laughing, joking and as always, making us all laugh. This has come as such a shock, it’s almost impossible to process... I am so grateful that I got to see you.

To think you won’t be there everyday at work, annoying me in the staff room or that you won’t be coming over for the next games night... its unimaginable.

You always lit up the room with your smile and your loving ways. You are genuinely one of the loveliest, most caring people I’ve had the pleasure of calling a friend. The hole you’ve left in our hearts will never be replaced. You’ve touched so many of our lives, in so many ways, you’ll never be forgotten!

To Rachelle and Idris’ family, I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I am sending you all my love. I hope you find in peace knowing that his legacy will live on forever.

Rest in eternal peace Idris.
Until we meet again ❤️

'Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain. ' - Frye

Uncle Idris, we dearly miss you. We will always love you and we will always tell stories of the wonderful person you were. In that way, we keep you alive, in our hearts and in our minds.

Idris, devastated that your gone, one of life’s good guys taken too soon, you will leave a huge void in the lives of so many. You were so much more than a coach to H, you were his role model, you inspired him to be the best version of him, come wind, rain, or sunshine you were there to train him and always available on the phone to provide reassurance through tougher times. As I always used to say to you, a good coach can change a game, a great coach can change a life, you my friend were a great COACH and a great person!! Deepest condolences to your family and friends, your TSM legacy will live on. It’s the end for now, but we will meet again and our football banter will continue..
My GUY Rest Peacefully

Idris.... I'm so glad to have spent time growing up with this man. The Man who Never lost that little boy inside always joking always destroying guys with banter either at training or long coach journeys to track meets I will always remember the laughter we had.
I'm so very proud of him and what he had archived as a athlete and what he was working on as a coach.. Idris had a deep passion for what he was working on and It was Amazing to me. I thank God that I had the opportunity to tell him in our time and that even are final conversation was ended with a fearless hug and hope to see each other in the New year.. I will miss my brother Idris always with joke smile and kind word of knowledge for me.. My fierce competitor my Loving friend and a inspiration to Everyone who got to see this young man developments and achievements in such a short time.. He Lived it to the Max and we would all do well to follow his life's example..God bless Idris as God blessed us with Him X

Words cannot convey the gravity of losing you. You were more than a friend; you were a mentor, a motivator and a great role model in my life. I'm not quite sure how I'll continue without you, until we meet again rest in eternal peace.

I can’t express how sad I feel knowing that I’ll never walk in to the staff room and not share endless banters. It’s almost a week and It hasn’t yet hit me yet that you are gone. May Allah show you your place in heaven and I pray that you rest peacefully. In sha Allah till we meet again my brother

Too many great memories. When I first joined Lorna’s group straight away I noticed you were the energy of the group. Anyone could recognise your laugh from a distance! On and off the track you were so competitive and always wanted to improve. I can fondly remember nights after training rushing home only to jump on Fifa and play you and Trem (Of course you were the best). And as one of the younger ones in the group at the time you were always supportive, giving advice and driving the whole squad to be better. Never will I forget one time at Sutton you challenged me in front of the whole group to do 50 push-ups and you’d give me a £20 note if I did it. As I struggled, you held the £20 note in front of me, I didn’t quite get to 50 but I got a new PB. One of the best motivators and clean hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in peace brother. God be with you till we meet again. 👊🏾❤️
