It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jelani Hasan — a beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend — who left us far too soon due to complications from Type 1 diabetes.

Jelani touched so many lives with his kind and generous spirit. He also had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued.

As our family faces this unimaginable loss, we are doing our best to honor Jelani’s memory with the love and dignity he deserves. We have created this GoFundMe to help cover memorial and burial expenses, so we can give him a beautiful farewell surrounded by those who loved him most.

Every contribution — no matter the amount — will go directly toward these costs and will help ease the financial burden on the family during this difficult time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page or keeping Jelani and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and memories shared by so many who knew him. Jelani’s spirit will live on in all of us — in every smile, every kind word, and every act of love.

We will update this page with information as we plan and finalize Jelani’s memorial service. We also invite everyone to please share your thoughts and memories of Jelani.

With love and gratitude,

The Hasan Family
