Khalid Hamza

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Khalid Hamza, a cherished son, dedicated friend, and esteemed colleague. Khalid departed this world on March 23, 2026, at the age of 35, just five days shy of his 36th birthday. Born on March 28, 1990, in the vibrant city of San Jose, California, Khalid's life was a tapestry of unwavering devotion, hard work, and enduring love for those around him. Khalid was the beloved son of Bedri Hamza, whose strength and support Khalid cherished deeply throughout his life. He leaves behind his father, Bedri, and a network of friends and colleagues who became his extended family. Though Khalid was single and had no children of his own, his nurturing spirit and kind heart touched many, filling the lives of those he encountered with warmth and joy. A man of remarkable dedication, Khalid devoted nearly two decades of his life to his career at Target, where he was not just an employee but a pillar of the community. His colleagues remember him as a beacon of integrity and compassion, always ready to lend a helping hand and provide guidance. Khalid's commitment to his work was unwavering, and he approached each day with a sense of purpose, always striving to make a positive impact. His untimely passing, attributed to work-related stress along with 70+ days aging in internals, serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of balance and self-care. Friends and family remember Khalid for his infectious laughter, his penchant for storytelling, and his unwavering loyalty. He was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life and had an innate ability to make others feel seen and valued. His legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and love—a legacy that will continue to inspire those who knew him. A service to honor and celebrate Khalid's life will be held on March 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Target 2605, a fitting tribute to the place where he spent so much of his life making a difference. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the ETL-AP Association, an organization close to Khalid's heart, dedicated to supporting employee well-being and promoting healthier work environments. As we gather to remember Khalid, let us celebrate the profound impact he had on our lives, and carry forward his spirit of kindness and dedication. Though he may no longer walk among us, Khalid's light will forever illuminate the hearts of those he touched. May he rest in eternal peace.
