A GoFundMe page set up to help the family described Mr. Anwar as a "hard-working Pakistani immigrant who came to the United States to create a better life for him and his family."
He is survived by a wife and two children in the United States, and an adult son and four grandchildren in Pakistan.
Support has poured in, and at the time of writing, Mr. Anwar's family has received over $180,000 from more than four thousand donors.
