Khalid was born on March 12, 1942 in Amaravati, India to his loving parents the late Dr. Muhammad Zubair and Shahjahan Begum. He later moved to Pakistan got married to the love of his life, had four children and then immigrated to Canada in 1975. Khalid took care of his family and was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Khalid is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Sajida, his three sons Tariq, Fateh, Nasir, his daughter Farya, and his four grandchildren Sanna, Zayan, Annaya, and Shyzan. Also, many extended family members, including two brothers, four sisters and their families who he loved dearly.

Khalid was a very strong soul and a firm believer in the power of prayers. He was also one of the oldest and most respected members of the Ahmadiyya Jamaat in Calgary. He believed whatever is meant to be will be and will be for the best.

Khalid was very fun loving and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was gentle, caring, kind, and friendly with all, you would always find him making jokes and making everyone laugh. He touched so many lives and created so many special memories that time can never fade.

Khalid enjoyed nature, spending time outdoors gardening, planting flowers, barbequing, visiting our National Parks and especially traveling with his family.
