He has helped countless people not only find a car, but find a job, find friendship, and find a sense of community.
He is a kindhearted man who cares so much about doing what is right for others and making sure people find joy in life. Most importantly he is an amazing father of 5 children and a pillar of a very loving family. We are desperate for any information, no matter how small it may seem, that could help find him and bring him home.
We ask the community that Adib has helped for so long to please come forward and help us. If you have seen or heard anything that might help in locating Adib, please reach out to the Sheriff's Office. Any detail could be crucial. We would like to put forth a $20,000 reward for direct information that leads to Adib's whereabouts.
Our family is doing everything we can to stay hopeful. Your help is invaluable.
