Husam Jamil Maali

A month passed since your death but decades and centuries will pass and we will NEVER forget you!

Rest in Peace H

My condolences to your entire family. You were a good friend to many who were not related to you, and you will be greatly missed.

To my cousin 'H'-

I don't think you realized how much you had an effect on our lives...You played an important role in mine. Anyone who knew you can only know how great of a guy you were. Anyone who knew you was just lucky to know you. The short period of time we had you was never taken advantage of, but filled with many great memories. I can't think of a single time that you did not put a smile on my face. You never once upset me. I always loved hanging out with you because you always kept everything so exciting. You always had me laughing. You knew how to keep everyone happy, and taught many people a lot about life. You had the answers to everything. You always knew how to act. I have never met anyone cooler than you. I am very proud of being a part of our family, but a lot if came from you. You contributed a lot to all of us. You were like a celebrity in our family. You are the most successful, powerful, and popular. There are not enough words to describe you. You are admired and envied by so many. You said I was a Goodfella Girl, I will never forget that. You are so special to me. Whether you knew someone for years, or just met them for a day, you left a lasting impression on them. You had everything going for yourself. You are not here physically, like we can’t see or talk to you, but your spirit lives on in your family and those close to you. You will never be forgotten, and may you rest in peace.

Love Always,

Diana "Dingy" Maali

Its hard to come to the reality your gone and not coming back. We always hear about these things happening to other people, but never did I think it would happen to us. Well it did and where do we go from here? You had a way to make someone so small feel so big. Your family is going through a hard time, how could I blame them, you were the leader of the pack, one of the Goodfellas, but most of all untouchable. People could only dream of reaching your height of success in such a short amount of time. You would pull up in a new car, and I would said ‘hey that’s my boss.’ But never did I imagine that I would be so lucky to get accepted into such a great family and be so proud to say ‘hey that’s my brother-in law’ so now your family needs support more than ever. I ask god everyday how can I help them through this pain, ones pain more unbearable than the other, and why can’t you help me through mine? I never thought the first person in my life to go would be someone so young and full of life. The phone call that woke us up plays over in my head like a nightmare I never woke up from. That night was the worst night of my life, and the day was even longer as I watched over your 3 beautiful angels that you were so proud of. Which all have a piece of you shining through them. Always looking forward to giving us a big surprise, well H you gave us the surprise of our lives. Everyone lost their hero, with the mouth that always got you into or out of trouble, but a presence that no one could forget. You leave us with a lot to be thankful for, but life will be hard to go on without you. You were so proud to be an uncle, you always said you would give my kid everything just like she were one of your own. Now its my turn to give the same to your children as I would my own. But now Allah has you, and the rest of us can only wait to see you again inside the gates of Heaven. Rest In Peace.

P.S
You would have gotten a kick out of not seeing me eat for 3 days

October 14, 1971 that’s the day he was born, Jamil and Samira's first son. but it wasn't until he got married that his life really begun

But what a life it was for someone so young

You were my older brother, hardly ever apart

Until June 21 when we buried my heart

Cuz that’s what you were, I know from time to time I told you

Damn how much I wish you were here to hold you

But wishes are things that rarely do come true, so I guess I have no choice but to sit here missing you

You’ll be living through your children, cuz I guess that’s all I got

Well I shouldn’t say it like that, cuz your kids mean more than a lot

And you know I’m gonna raise them just the way you would

And I’m not trying to fill your shoes because I never could

But what I admire most about you is you always kept it real

No matter who or what it was, you told us how you’d feel

It plays back in my head the night I got the call

She said ‘your brothers dead’ and I saw my world fall

It’s like nothing even matters now that your not here

Cuz when you left you took with you my heart, my soul, my cheer

Even when I smile it feels like something’s missing

I lie awake at night praying, hoping, wishing

To open up my eyes and see that it’s not true

But like I said before wishing rarely comes true

So I hope we’ll all do better with a little bit of time

And just like you big brother I want the world to be mine

VIP is where you kept us me, Maali, and Nate

But we ask for one more favor, just please open up the gate

And let us all in when our time is here

Till then I’ll wait here quietly cuz I’m out of tears

You are a rose that will never die. God looked around his garden and seen an empty spot. Then he looked down on this earth and seen your smiling face. We have lost something that has meant a great deal to us all. He was the best brother-in-law that ever lived and loved his children. He was very sweet, kind, and had a soft heart. But to receive the tragic news, it tore us all apart. It was something none of us ever expected. He was always there to listen and was very well respected. It was very hard for his family not to see him that next day. But not as hard as it will be for him not to be here to see his kids grow up. We all hate to hear those words "It will be okay and move on." But we still have another great person and that's his son Jamil Maali Jr. Nobody knew it was going to happen it all went so fast. Nobody knew that deep breath he took was going to be his last. Their eyes filled with tears and they all scream. For him to raise his kids was his only dream. He was the greatest person that I knew and I knew that from the start. You are gone but not forgotten.

P.S.
Riman,
If you ever need anything just remember that I am always here for you and you can count on me for anything.


Your Beloved
Sister-in-Law,

Manal Hamdan

Success means more than money. It's being happy and healthy; being a good husband, father, brother and son. Success is measured by how much your loved by others, and by expressing confidence in yourself while remaining humble...it's being real.

That's Husam Maali (My favorite success story.)

I knew you'd make it! WOW, so many memories...

I never told you...I love you...I should have.

I'll always be little L. to (for) you bro.

Always, Lutfi N. Hamdan

My prayers go out to the whole family for their loss. It is a very hard situation to deal with when it comes to losing a family member. Many blessings to the family and RIP HUSAM

From J
"Baba I miss you, I love you, I'm giving you thumbs up. oh yea I'm working at the candy store and now I'm the boss of the house I love you Baba"
Jamil will grow up to be just like his father Inshallah
"I miss you Baba"
"I wish you can come back"

Well big bro I miss you
I know that you are in a better place
But you left me in this part of life without you
You set your life before you went and left not a trace
Of what life would have been without you
So now that your gone I feel confused even more so, lost
Like they say people come and people go,
But never had any person meant so much to me
I mean come on you’re my big bro, my role model, and my protector
And I am nothing but your little sister…your "favorite sister"
I always tried to live my life to your standards and now my limit was hit
Your gone I don’t know what more you want me to do
You said your proud that I graduated high school
That you can’t wait for my graduation of college
So from there to what
I wish you would have set my life for me before you left
You always told me what to do
I always did my best to do it
You were easy to look up to
You wanted something you got it, no one questioned it
You hated something you changed it no matter how big or small
You did so many things in your life that were easy to admire
Now I can’t bare to imagine my life without you
I feel like your just a phone call away like usual
But I am far from the truth
I know it but I can’t believe it
When I believe it I can’t feel it
But when I feel it, it hurts
I’ve never had this pain before
It’s a sharp sting that is digging the truth of it all into me
Everywhere I look I am reminded of how much of an impact on our lives you had
You always wanted the best for all of us
And if you could offer it, you did
Why is this feeling so hard to take in
Why am I still in a stage of disbelief
When will I see you
When will you once again protect me
When will the pain all end
When will my questions be answered
When they are answered is when I will be at ease till then
Rest in peace big bro, rest in peace

love you forever and always,
Maha Maali

TO MY BROTHER THE BALLER WITHOUT A CONTRACT:

BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY WHAT YOU WERE. WE WERE ONE YEAR APART. I WAS ALWAYS THERE IN YOUR SHADOW, LOOKING UP TO YOU BECAUSE YOU MADE EVERYTHING SEEM EASY. FROM ELEMENTARY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL WE WERE IN BROOKLYN, NY AND HUNG OUT TOGETHER ALL THE TIME IN SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL.

I REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD TRY TO BE MY 2ND DAD. ALWAYS STRAIGHTENING ME OUT WHEN I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. YOU WERE ALSO MY BEST FRIEND, ALWAYS THERE TO TALK TO AND ENCOURAGE ME WHEN I NEEDED IT. YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY BACK PUSHING ME, AND SHOWING ME HOW TO DO BETTER.

YOU WELCOMED THE WORLD INTO YOUR LIFE WITH OPEN ARMS AT ALL TIMES. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHO IT WAS, OR WHAT THEY NEEDED, YOU WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. NEVER WILL THERE BE ANYONE AS SPECIAL AS YOU. NOT A DAY WILL GO BY THAT I WON'T MISS YOU.

WE HAD YOU IN OUR LIVES FOR 31 YEARS. BUT YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR MORE THAN A MILLION. YOU WERE THE BEST GIFT THAT ANYONE COULD EVER ASK FOR. IN SUCH A SHORT TIME YOU ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH.

I WILL ALWAYS ADMIRE YOUR STYLE. YOUR PERSONALITY AND THE WAY THAT YOU CARRIED YOURSELF. YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN ALOT OF PEOPLES LIVES. EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS REMIND YOUR CHILDREN OF WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAN YOU WERE INSIDE AND OUT.

YOUR SOLDIERS AS YOU CALLED US WILL LIVE ON AND TRY TO TOUCH THE WORLD WITH THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOWED US. HUSAM MY BROTHER I'M MISSING YOU MORE THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE ALREADY. YOU TOOK MY HEART WITH YOU. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU. AND I WILL ALWAYS LOOK UP TO WHAT YOU WERE "THE BALLER WITHOUT A CONTRACT."

Riman

God will give you strenght and help you through this difficult time. You have 3 beautiful children and great memories to hold on to. He is with Allah now and watching over you and the kids. You are a beautiful person and blessed with your children and memories of Husam. Be strong. You have a great family and friends to help you through this. My thoughts are with you. Rhonda

His life was cut short...

However, he lived his life as if it was short; achieving the impossible.

Husam Maali's friendly face and outgoing attitude will be deeply missed and never ever be forgotten. I will miss his "Hey Rasha, how you doin?" and his hillarious reminisces into his childhood experiences. Not only was he a cousin, yet a pleasure to be around. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers Husam! I love you cuz...

your cousin

Deena Maali

Husam, although you were here with us for a short time, I have many memories of the times we shared together that will last forever. We shared many things, including our birthdays which I will miss celebrating with you.



I am glad we spent a lot of time together in the last few years. You were my best friend and cousin. I have come to know you as a genuine, down to earth, caring and loving cousin, friend, husband and father.



I also admired and learned many things from you, including your ability to live and enjoy life in the present rather than the future, your business success, your ability to get what you want, your courage, your ability to share and express your feelings to anyone whether good or bad, and your sense of humor. I will never forget how we always made each other laugh.



You will always be in my heart and mind. I love you and I will miss you cuz.

HUSAM WAS A GREAT COUSIN AND FRIEND.HE WAS SO FULL OF LIFE EVEN TO THE END.HE WAS A SUCCESSFUL MAN,NOT ONLY IN BUSINESS,BUT WITH PEOPLE IN GENERAL.I WILL ALWAYS HOLD HIM IN MY HEART.

MAY GOD BLESS HIM

Although i only got to meet Husam (personally) once i feel as if i've known him all my life. He was My best Friends Oldest brother and she always spoke so highly of him. Maha would always mention how sweet, funny, and caring he was and how he was always there for everyone, ready to pull them through the good and the bad. I know Riman and her three beautiful children, may allah always protect and help you get through this difficult time. Husam is with Allah and he will always be looking after you and his children in spirit. May allah help all who loved him dearly get through this hard time. Allah yirhamak Husam.

Much love, wajiha Katbeh

Husam we will miss you! You were a cousin, a friend, and a brother. We love you.



I have put up a web page for husam for photos and a guestbook.

thanks

Chad

Husam you were a best friend, brother and an inspiration. You always new how to make me smile even on my worst day. You always had the answer to everything; I’m going to miss the long talks we had even though we had miles between us we were always so close. You left me a lifetime of memories that I will never forget; you are truly one a kind. I will never forget you. The world is yours.



You were the greatest person I new

You'll always be the greatest

I love you “H” and I”ll miss you



“Till the day we meet again

In my heart is where I'll keep you friend”

I am so sorry to hear of the lost of Husam, even though I didn't know him personally, I knew some of the family when I worked with them years ago. May God bless all the Maali's. I'm sure there will always be a part of him with you at all times.

To The Entire Maali Family: Your faith will give you the strength to get through these difficult days ahead. Husam's light will forever shine in the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing him! May Allah give you strength and peace always!

Husam,

Always on the go and never said good bye,

seeking a better life for your family provide;

your stories and jokes will always be remembered,

because of my family you became a member.

Julio.

Husam was definitly a character. Although I was not related he treated me as an older brother would treat his little sister and told me when I was wrong. God bless the Maali family in their time of mourning. The Maali family is a great example of what a loving family has to offer. To his wife and children Husam is now a star in the sky watching over you and will forever be with you.

I always looked up to you and you were always there for me,so i guess its my turn to be there for you and you know i will be,i loved you so much that you called me your third brother that ment so much to me,but to me your never gone in my life your always there,you are the one who built my character to what i am today and im proud to be that way, you taught me so much in my life that no one else can but i know that for as long as i live your still there to teach me,you are more than a cousin,your a brother and even sometimes a father to me Ill never forget you,and I Love You

Bismillahalrahmanalraheem:



To Allah we belong and to him we shall return.



Rest assured knowing he is with Allah safe and care free. He is not suffering but looking down on his family and guiding them. Especially the 3 beautiful angels he left behind. The memory of Husam will live through his kids. Riman be patient Allah will take care of you and the kids. Have faith in Allah and all will be ok. To the Maali family which is like our own family may God Bless you all!



Allah yirhama

You always made me smile. I will miss you.

"To Allah we belong and to him we shall return"

Husam will be deeply missed by all his family and friends. I will always remember my cousin for being the free spirited and content person that he was. Everytime I saw him Husam he was happy and had a smile on his face. His memory will live through his three beautiful children and his wonderful wife Riman. The four of them will be forever loved and cherished. Allah Yirhama

With deepest sympathy and our heart-felt condolences go out to the family of Husam Maali. We didnt know Husam personally, but we were aware of all the wonderful things he had accomplished. Our prayers are with all of you. May Allah be with you and comfort you through this time of grief. May your troubled hearts find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. May Allahs presence ease your trembling spirits and give you rest. Allah knows how you feel, and is aware of your circumstances and is ready to be your strength, your grace, and your peace. He is there to cast sunlight into all of your darkened shadows, to send encouragement through the love of friends and family, and to replace your weariness with new hope. Hold fast to your memories,to all of the cherished moments of the past. They all add up to a treasure of fond yesterdays that you shared and spent together,and they keep the one you loved close to you in spirit and in thought. The beautiful memories of Husam will always be in your hearts, today and forevermore. May he rest in peace. Allah yerhama.

To Riman and the entire Maali family he loved his family more than anything,He was very unique and wonderful, he always made people feel special when he was around. May he rest in peace with allah and may you all find peace someday. You are all very special. much love to all of you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.Husam will live on in our memories forever.

Husam,

We all love you and miss you very much. You were really good with people of all ages and knew how to make them laugh, again we do miss you very much.



Allah yerhamak

Iman

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praises belong to Allah (SWT) alone. He is the Lord,Creator and Sustainer of all the worlds. He,alone,has given us all that we have. He knows what is best for us. We should understand that all that happens is a part of Allah's plan and has a specific purpose behind it. We should praise Him in all things. The Day of Judgment is certainity, the time is now for us to prepare for that Day. No matter how long we live, death is the ultimate fate for all of us.

We miss you Uncle H.

Love Mo & K

Husam, you were one of a kind!

He always knew what to say to make you laugh and smile. He was one who everybody always wanted to talk to and be around. Always made an effort to say hi to everyone. He is loved by many all around the world and he will be in our hearts and prayers forever.

I wish with all my heart and soul that I could have had the chance to tell him how much I admired and looked up to him. He always did things in the now, not later. He never said, "When I get older I’m going to do this" He did it right then and there.

Life is so hard. He had accomplished so much at his age (mashallah), and everyone loved him. So now he’s in a better place, a place that truly deserves him. Allah yerhama. You have left us with a constant reminder of yourself in a beautiful family.

You'll always be in my prayers, and you've made a difference in everyone’s life, which I thank you for. And I'm proud to have known you, and I'm proud to have had you as a wonderful cousin.



May you rest in peace. Allah yerhamak wa samhak.



Reham Maali

Husam was at first my client then he became my friend and at last we became brothers. As good brothers we used to argue a lot. However; I loved him as my brother. May you rest in peace "H". I will miss you here on earth but I know I will see you again, God willing. Thank you for all the great memories and good times we had together. To your wife and kids, may God always protect them so that they could return to HIM and you to be together forever.

« To Allah we belong and to him we shall return” –Coran-.



The departure of Hussam was a choc to us, we ask Allah Almighty to grant him mercy.

I personally have not known Hussam for a long time, yet the few times I had the pleasure to share a moment with him will remain beautiful memories.



We ask Allah almighty to grant Hussam’s family patience.

We will surely remember him in our prayers.



Karim and Neama Djerboa

May allah rest him in peace, and bless you all, and may his children grow up to live in his legacy and way of life. allah yerhama. the mokles hamdalla family.

My Condolence goes out to the family and friends of Husam Maali. He came from Allah the almighty and now he shall return to him. Your in my thoughts and prayers. He might not be here physically with all of you guys,but he's closer to you more then you know, he's here spirtually. When you feel the nice summer breeze blow on your face just know that thats him by your side telling you guys not to give up. Keep your heads held high and inshallah we all reunite together in Jannah ya rab. Once again im Sorry for the tragic ending of the lost live of Husam. Salam

Husam, you will be greatly missed. You left me with a ton of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for being such a great friend.

Husam: Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin and Friend. Though you are no longer here you will not be forgotten. Some of us hardly knew you, and others could hardly remember a time without you. To you may Allah have mercy on your soul and to your family may the pain you feel now be replaced by happy memories, for Allah is most merciful most forgiving.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends. May God be with you during this difficult time and give you strenghth to get through it.

Riman



May God bless you and your kids and keep you safe.



My heart and prayers are with the 4 of you and the entire Maali family.



God Bless

Husam always had a place in my heart, now its even bigger. He was always complimenting on my attitude. "I learned from you and cuz." Thats what i always told him. The way he always lived his life to the fullest was just a beautiful thing, everytime I'd see him, he'd say to me "what up Momo?", and he'd always have this big smile on his face. Thats something that i'll never forget, a loved man by many, me aswell. Husam you won't be forgotten! RIP.

MAY THE PEACE AND LOVE OF GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TAKE COMFORT IN KNOWING HE IS FINALLY HOME AND ONE DAY YOU WILL MEET AGAIN. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, GOD BLESS.

My husband was known by many and loved by many. But the love that we shared was different in so many ways, it's hard to explain he was and still is the greatest father to our three kids Jamil, Xena, and Naseem. He is my heart, my soul, and my mind.I feel that I became him. I just want to leave you with the song that Jamil learned in school and then taught it to xena for Fathers Day:"D-A-D...D-A-D I love to hold your hand, it feels so safe it feels so warm your the best dad in this land." We miss you and love you so much.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. God Bless you and hold you close in your time of need!

I am Husam Maali's one and only "favorite sister." I know that he is in a better place watching over all of us. He had accomplished everything that he wanted in the best way. Now we all have his children to help us never forget how great he really was. I love you Husam forever!

"THE WORLD IS YOURS"

I met Hussam about two years ago, he was one of the friendliest person i've ever met, I am deeply saddend, may he rest in peace.

To the familly of Husam Maali,may God be with my.My prayers are for your son and for you.May Husam rest in peace .Inna lil lah wa inna elleyhi rajeooun(We belong to God and we will return to him)

I wish comfort to your family during this time of sadness. Your legacy lives on in your children. You will be greatly missed by many! RIP

I first met Husam ten years ago in New York. He was truly one of the most wonderful souls that I have ever met. I will hold his memory in my heart forever. Your friend.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. There was never a dull moment when Husam was around! He always made me smile. He will be dearly missed. God Bless.

ORLANDO IS MISSING YOU,BROOKLYN IS

MISSING YOU..........WE ARE ALL

MISSING YOU.REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

May God be with all of you in Peace that passes all understanding. Comfort, Love and His Grace. I knew Husam through my work advertising his businesses. He was a nice guy, friendly and ambitious. He will be missed by many.
