His commitment to service would continue beyond his military career, leading him to join the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in 2023, where he dedicated himself to protecting and serving the community.

Zade embodied the values of honor, courage, integrity, and sacrifice. Through his service in the United States Marine Corps and his work in law enforcement, he demonstrated a commitment to something greater than himself. He answered the call to serve his country as a Marine and continued that calling as a police officer, placing himself in the service of others until his final watch.

His loss is deeply felt by his fellow officers, those who served alongside him in the Marine Corps, his loved ones, and the Greenville community he called home. The outpouring of love and support from across South Carolina and beyond stands as a testament to the impact of his life and service.
Zade is survived by his wife, Sage Abdelnabi; his father, Ghaleb Abdelnabi; his mother, Amy Harvey; his stepmother, Sana Masoud; his brother, Daniel (Ryan) Abdelnabi; and his sister, Janae Koury. His family now carries the weight of an unimaginable loss. Behind the uniform was a husband, son, brother, and friend whose life meant far more than the titles he held or the duties he performed.

Mr. Speaker, I ask that Austin “Zade” Abdelnabi and his contributions to our Nation and the communities he served be entered into the Record for posterity.
