They said he organized relief missions in Puerto Rico, helped Houstonians after Hurricane Harvey and traveled to India to lend a helping hand.
Dhaliwal worked closely with the United Sikhs organization, and often took to social media to appeal others to help.
"When I was going to Puerto Rico, nobody was supporting me. I called him and he said, 'Bro, I'll watch your back and I'll join you,'" friend Kam Khalon said. "I am broken. I feel a bridge of our community and that bridge has broken."
Sunny Singh says Dhaliwal called him last week to organize a trip to the Bahamas to help with hurricane relief.

"He was family. He was a good friend and family member that I really adored, you know. I miss him a lot," Singh said.
Jesse Jaspal with the United Sikhs organization said they lost a true hero.
"He's a living legend," said Jaspal. He represented the Sikh faith to the fullest."
