His family conveyed that he will miss training with everyone at the Budokai. His family wanted to express gratitude for all the support Budokai has given their family during Sempai Nemat’s battle with cancer.

A service will be held at the Islamic Mosque on Sand Creek Road in Albany at 12pm Tuesday, November 10th. He will be buried at Evergreen Cemetery on Central Ave in Albany.
