The tribute from Mr Sheik's family continued: "He was just 19 years old, the youngest in our family, the heart of our home, and the light in all our lives.
"Rabi was known for his humility. He was gentle, affectionate, respectful, and incredibly mindful.
"Rabi's character was not reckless, irresponsible, or careless. In fact, he was the exact opposite. He was wise beyond his years and always made decisions with thought and care, even at just 19 years old.
"We will continue to honour Rabi through our prayers, our love, and the truth. We want to give him the same strength and loyalty he showed to us every day of his short but beautiful life.
"We hope people will join us in remembering him as a rare soul, full of light and goodness."
