The late Kareem Neal was born on July 27, 1977, in Belize City, Belize. His passing has left a significant void in the lives of his family and friends, who are now struggling to cope with his loss and prepare for his final farewell.
Kareem Neal, a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, cousin, and friend, was a cherished figure to all who knew him. His spirit and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone he met. In 2022, Kareem was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, a condition that drastically altered his life. Despite these challenges, he maintained hope and faith in God, determined to regain his health.
On August 17, 2023, Kareem suffered a massive stroke, which severely impacted his ability to eat, speak, walk, and care for himself. However, he never gave up, fighting tirelessly for ten months and making significant progress in his recovery. His resilience and determination inspired those around him.
Tragically, after an unexpected hospitalization on June 17, 2024, and undergoing two critical surgeries, Kareem succumbed to heart and kidney complications on June 19, 2024, at the age of 46. His passing at 2:08 p.m. that day was a profound loss for his family and friends.
Mellony Neal, Kareem’s family member, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his homegoing celebration. As of yesterday, the fundraiser had collected $1,690 out of the $15,000 goal, with contributions from seven donors. Donations include $250 from Daniel Kae, $40 from Adanma Nwachuku, $100 from Shantell Reneau, $200 from Ashley Akinsanya, and $100 from Rose Middleton.
In a heartfelt message, Mellony Neal wrote, "Hello Family, Friends, and Others alike, Kareem Neal was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, cousin, and friend. To know him was truly to love him. We lost our beloved Kareem on June 19, 2024. He truly deserves the best Celebration of Life possible."
The community’s support during this difficult time has been overwhelming. Ena Muah, one of the supporters, shared the GoFundMe link and encouraged others to contribute to the cause. The outpouring of love and support through kind words, calls, text messages, and donations has been a testament to Kareem’s impact on those around him.
The fundraiser aims to honor Kareem’s memory by giving him the dignified farewell he deserves. Mellony Neal and the entire family express their deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported them during this challenging period.
