It is with profound sadness that we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Sheikh Suhail Salim Bahwan, Chairman of the Suhail Bahwan Group (SBG) and one of Oman’s most respected and influential business leaders. His passing marks the loss of not only a visionary industrialist but also a compassionate mentor, guide, and respected member of the Omani community.

Sheikh Suhail Bahwan’s contributions to Oman’s economic development were extraordinary. As Chairman of SBG, he played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s industrial and commercial landscape. Under his leadership, the group flourished across multiple sectors, providing employment, fostering innovation, and contributing significantly to the nation’s growth. His vision, strategic acumen, and commitment to excellence earned him admiration and respect, not only in Oman but across the international business community.

Beyond his professional achievements, Sheikh Suhail was widely respected for his personal integrity, humility, and generosity. Those who had the privilege of knowing him recall his warmth, guidance, and unwavering support. Many, including colleagues, employees, and friends, experienced firsthand the encouragement and wisdom he imparted. Even when life led people on different paths, his mentorship left a lasting impression, shaping careers, lives, and values in ways that will endure far beyond his lifetime.

For me personally, Sheikh Suhail was more than a business leader; he was a figure of guidance and inspiration. As the elder brother of my boss, Saud Bahwan, he played a meaningful role in my life during our years together. Though life’s paths diverged, the lessons, respect, and encouragement he offered have remained with me throughout my journey. His kindness, vision, and example will continue to guide and inspire those fortunate enough to have known him.

The passing of Sheikh Suhail Salim Bahwan is a profound loss for his family, the Suhail Bahwan Group, and the wider community of Oman. As we mourn his departure, we also honor the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of innovation, leadership, mentorship, and generosity.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi raji’un. May Allah grant his soul eternal peace, reward his lifetime of contributions, and provide comfort and strength to his family, colleagues, and all whose lives he touched. Sheikh Suhail Bahwan’s memory will live on through the enduring impact of his work, the lives he influenced, and the values he embodied.

It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt sympathy that we extend our condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Kelsey Drew Daniels Pollard, who passed away on November 20, 2025, following complications from liver failure and septic shock.
