Back in August 2021, the 46-year-old’s family released a tribute to him.

This said: “Kamaldip Hulait was a son and a brother, with a heart of gold. It is hard to comprehend he is no longer with us, tragically taken too soon.

“Across the community he was known as a gentle giant always putting the needs of others miles ahead of his own.

“We are hearing stories from locals how he discreetly helped those most in need, asking for nothing in return.

Oxford Mail:

“He quietly lived his unique life never being a burden to those who loved him.

“Kam was one in a million, he had time for everyone one. Kam was one of the most genuine people anyone could ever meet.

“He treated all equally and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

“Kam will be missed so very much by everyone who knew him from his family, his friends, to the locals he helped.

“There are not enough words to say how say how very proud we are of him and always will be.

“He leaves a legacy of selfless deeds filled by pure kindness.”
