Eighteen-year-old SUNY Old Westbury student Khalid A. Hill passed away on Tuesday, November 20th. Hill was killed in a car accident while driving on the Northern State Parkway. Khalid was a first year student who lived in residential dorm Hall one. Hill was a desk attendant at the Woodland’s Hall at night. He majored in biology but had plans to change his major as he dreamed of one day becoming a Suffolk County police officer. He wanted to serve the community where he grew up.
His closest friend referred to him as a “best friend and a brother.” Both boys would hang out at the gym or grab a bite to eat . You would rarely catch one without the other If were not outside, they would relax in Hill’s room and play video games, even if it was two in the morning.
He will be missed by many. He was described as “someone who always wanted to help others, even if he didn’t know you.” Any students or faculty seeking support following the loss of Mr. Hill can visit the Office of Counseling and Psychological Wellness Services located in the Student Union.
