In loving memory
Dr. Sobia Laique
Sobia Laique Khalid
May 21, 1989 – August 5, 2026
Beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister, khala, and daughter-in-law — physician, researcher, and mentor.
This site is for her family — and especially for her son, Adam — so he can grow up knowing his mother through the eyes of the many people who loved her.
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
How you can help
Three simple ways to honor Sobia
Everything you share helps her family remember her — and helps her son, Adam, know his mother from many perspectives: her humor, her kindness, her brilliance, and the everyday moments that made her who she was. Please walk through these steps if you can. Even one makes a lasting difference.
Step 1
Stay connected
Please enter your email to stay connected with Sobia Laique and her legacy. We may reach out with updates, and later with requests for more contributions or participation.
To keep up with Adam as he grows — and so he can one day see the people who knew his mother — follow him on Instagram.

Share photos & videos
Please share as many photos and videos as you can. It may take a moment to gather them, but every one helps Omar, Adam, and their family keep seeing Sobia from new perspectives. Please do not filter — Omar knew her fully, and the more you share, the better. What you send comes to the family; nothing is posted automatically. If another way is easier — text, email, or anything else — please contact Omar at (310) 710-5799.
Step 3
Share a tribute
Step 3 is highly encouraged as a short video — not only written words. It does not need to be formal. Record it casually on your phone, as if you were sitting across from Adam, and send it to Omar. Written memories are welcome too if a video is not possible.
Highly encouraged
Record a video for Adam and send it to Omar
The easiest way: record a casual video on your phone — as if you were sitting across from Adam, telling him about Sobia or sharing a memory. Then text or email it to Omar.
Or on Tribute
Record a video on Tribute
If you prefer, you can also record there. It does not need to be polished — your face, your voice, and a story for Adam.
Open TributeOr write
Share a written memory
Welcome if you cannot record a video. Words still help the family and Adam know her.
You can also read tributes already shared.
Reach out
Contact the family
If you would like to reach Omar for any reason related to Sobia or Adam — to share a memory, return something of hers, ask about something she may have of yours, or simply to be in touch — you are welcome to. To keep up with Adam as he grows, you can also follow him on Instagram.

About
A life of purpose and love
Above all, Sobia was a mother — and a devoted wife, daughter, sister, khala, and daughter-in-law. She was also a respected transplant hepatologist who co-founded the Cleveland Clinic MASLD Task Force and dedicated her career to patients with complex liver disease. She dreamed of building a family, and gave her life to bring her son into the world.
