With deep sadness, we remember our dear friend, a proud graduate of the Class of 1997, who spent his early years as a boarding student—years that shaped lifelong friendships and lasting memories. After graduating from Robert College, Adnan went on to study Computer Science and Engineering at MIT, later building an exceptional career at Microsoft, Google, and most recently Meta in Seattle. He was widely respected for his remarkable intellect and professional accomplishments, but more importantly for his generosity, honesty, resilience, and steady, reassuring presence in difficult moments; often reminding his colleagues, as one of them recalled, “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out.”
He passed away in Redmond, Washington, USA, on April 27, 2026. To his friends, he will always remain the earnest and thoughtful companion we knew from his Robert College years and beyond. His spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind. He will be deeply missed.
