Farouk Ali was first a follower of God, then a husband, father, brother, friend, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, he left us on March 16th at 1045pm et. As many of you that knew him know. He was athletic, adventurous, compassionate, concise, and again, the list goes on. One thing we can always rely on is that he would be honest straightforward, with the precise amount of love and understanding that is needed. He is succeeded by his wife Linda, sons Joel and Jesse and his princess Talya, who was at his bedside every day up until his last moments. Farouk has left us not with a burden but with the simple need of wanting more time with him. He was never a burden, and never did anyone know he was in the room unless it was to share some sort of wisdom that he possessed. Anywhere he went, he only needed his Bible and laptop to study read and write. All this said is to help you realize what a wonderful man he was. As this process is hard on friends and family, we want to try to ease the burden as much as possible but help mainly with expenses that come up. Every member of the family appreciates your love and support; thank you for taking the time to read about this loving man.
