In Memory of Irshaad Ikbal

Irshaad Ikbal, 36, was missing for 3 weeks before his body was found in Vancouver, BC on Thursday May 18, 2023.

We are heartbroken at the loss of our beloved Irshaad Ikbal. He was so loved by all around him and it is clear that he lived his life full of love and compassion.

We want to thank everyone for their continuous love and support. Especially to those who contributed to searching for Irsh until he was found.

Growing up Irshaad, nicknamed “Irsh” was involved in soccer through various BC soccer leagues including the VMSL (Vancouver metro soccer league), BCMA (BC Muslim Association) soccer league and the Fijian Soccer League. He was known to give back to the community whenever he can.

Irshaad has been a key cornerstone in our family for the longest time. He’s always been there as the centrepiece, helping everyone in any way he can. He was the kindest person and our family feels so incomplete without Irshaad's caring nature and heart of gold.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to this go fund me in order to honor the amazing and giving life Irshaad lived. Donations will be used to make wells in Irshaad’s name to help underprivileged communities globally.
