A beloved 29-year-old UAE resident Amr Hesham, tragically lost his life in a car crash in Dubai on Saturday. Amr’s family had lost their younger son 11 years ago in a similar incident, and with losing Amr to a similar tragedy, both parents are struck with grief and shock.
Amr, an Egyptian national, born and raised in the UAE, was reportedly driving alone near Arjan roundabout when his car collided with a pole
The impact was severe, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital, but passed away shortly after. Friends and classmates gathered at the University of Sharjah, where Amr graduated, to pay their respects.
Goodbyes said too soon
This tragedy echoes the family’s earlier loss.
In 2014, Amr’s younger brother and only sibling, Kareem Hesham, passed away in a car crash at just 14 years old. With Amr gone too soon as well, the family was left heartbroken. According to local reports, Amr’s parents, Dr Hesham Abdel Halim and Yasmeen Hesham, are both hospitalised as they fell ill due to the immense grief.
“His father is in the ICU while his mother is also being treated,” a family member shared.
Amr lives on in loving memories…
Amr worked closely with a Dubai-based charity foundation and was known as “the kindest, most sweet, down-to-earth, soul”
After his passing away, his friends have set up a charity to continue Amr’s spirit of giving. The community has come together to build a mosque in the loving memory of their friend, with the hope of turning his legacy into a lasting impact.
Amr has been laid to rest next to his brother… May his kind soul rest in peace.
