Abdul Hasan

Abdul Jameel Hasan, lovingly known as “ED,” was born on March 13, 1967, in Benton Harbor,

Michigan, to Daaimah and Mustafa Hasan. He was a beloved brother to Lateefah, Yusuf, Maryann,

and Yasmine Hasan.

Abdul spent his early years in South Bend, Indiana, where he welcomed his first children:

Edward (Manny) Hasan, Terrence Jefferson (TJ), and Lakia Jefferson. In search of greater opportunity,

Abdul moved to California with his mother and siblings. There, he expanded his family and became

the proud father of: Lakeisha Williams, Shaneka Hasan, Justice Williams, Imani Hasan, and Dominick

Hasan.

A man of drive and vision, Abdul built a meaningful life through his business, Auto Brite Mobile

Detailing, and his entrepreneurial agency. His work ethic, pride, and resilience set a powerful example

for his children and everyone who knew him.

He believed in doing things the right way and lived that lesson daily—pushing those around him to

stay determined, grounded, and focused. Family was central to Abdul’s life, and he took deep pride

in raising and guiding his children with strength and love.

Abdul enjoyed the simple things: fishing, grilling, watching movies, listening to music, and taking trips

to the casino. One of his favorite shows was Sanford & Son, and he was known for his quick wit,

booming laugh, and unmatched ability to bring humor into any moment.

He was also a proud grandfather to: Edward IV, Aynia, Jordynn, Ean, Kesiah, Kennedy, Khalil, Sanai,

Kyeli, Kaydin, Ahneya, Emanuel, Xyla, Asante, Azariah, and Aveyah.

Abdul’s presence was magnetic. He was a strong, loyal, protective father and friend—a man who

always found a way. His legacy will live on through the lessons he taught, the love he gave, and the

memories he created with everyone who crossed his path.

Forever in our hearts.
