Dear All,
It is very difficult to express how deep our sadness and emotion after this tragic accident and sudden departure of Hassan Mendoun that I believe each of us here in the US and/or in Morocco can consider as his best and true friend.
Yes, Hassan Mendoun was a true friend and brother of each one that he met, he played with and work with. He was a unique and kind citizen with a great heart as he always shared anything with anyone who approached him. He was a person that he never knew how to say No to any request for help and support, he was always there for anyone who asked him for help even if he didn't know that person...
We all can be proud of having known him and having him as a great and true friend and brother and the best way to express our love and respect for him now and for ever is to pray for his soul and ask Allah to keep him with his prophets, messengers and believers. Also, we don't have to forget his loved ones that we need to support financially ASAP. So, please let's raise necessary funds to support his family.
FYI, Hassan Mendoun will be buried in Orlando this Monday, Nov. 30 at Salat Al Asr and we will appreciate the presence of anyone at the funeral. We will get him out of Orlando Regional Medical Center by Noon this Monday
May God Bless his Soul Wa Inna lillah Wa Inna Illaihi Rajioune.
For any info, please feel free to contact:

I am blessed to say that Hassan was my friend. Your words above are true and accurate. Everyone who came to meet him knew they had been in the presence of warmth and kindness and that a friendship was formed. It is hard to process this tragedy at this time, mostly I want to believe it is a dream and that his laugh will be heard again. While his life on this earth was short, his mark was left and the world is a better place for having him in it.
My love and thoughts are with his family and young children. God Bless.
With a deep sorrow and sadness I heard the news yesterday. Allah warhamek brother Hassan. You were generous and very welcoming a person. You took care of us in 2005 tournament in Virginia for Coupe the Trone. You welcomed all the New York Team to your house. Your wife is a wonderful a person. You invited us to a Moroccan restaurant.
Our Hearth and thoughts goes to his wonderful kids and wife. May Allah give her a speeding recovery? We will never forget Brother Hassan. Both New York and New Jersey community are very sad
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيمالسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتهكثيرا ما ندعوا لبعضنا البعض وقليلا ما نتذكر الدعاء لأمواتنا ... الى كل من سبقنا الى دار الحق ... هذا الدعاء - اللهم أغفر له و ارحمه و اعفو عنه و أكرمه- اللهم وسع مدخله و ادخله الجنة و غسله بالثلج و الماء والبرد- اللهم يمن كتابه و هون حسابه و لين ترابه و ثبت أقدامه و ألهمه حسن الجواب
we should have a soccer tournament under hassan mendoun name and raise the money for his family and to remember him as one of the most honorble person we've know
Allahouma rhamhou. on Eid day he spent the whole day with us in Orlando Moss Park. He was as always helping, talking to those he knows and those he met for the first time, his 4 year old kid was playing with my 5 year old as one of the brothers made a comment that his son was a real kazawi. On this day of Monday November 30, 3 days only after a wonderful time that we all spent in his company at the park, on this day we had to follow his Janaza and stand with so much sorrow and indescribable sadness by his grave, some of who had recently seen him were under so much of a choc that it takes time to believe that Brother Hassan Mendoun has in fact passed away, however his legend will be forever alive. On behalf of all you brothers and sisters in Orlando we say ( anta a sabik wa nahnou a lahikoun wa nad3ou laka al janata wa na3ima3a wa nassalou ALLAHA an youtabitaka 3inda a souaal. La Ilaha ila ALLAH, Mohammad Rassoulou allah.)
hassan akhi wa sadi9i konta ni3ma rijaal wa ni3ma rijaal anta sanachta9o ilayk we will miss u in every corner of this contry in every field we gonna play on in every smille in every one of uss im gonna see u alahoma er7am akhi hassan wa askinho fasi7a janatek his a good man
I worked with Hassan five years ago and I still spoke to him on and off. He was a true gentleman and he was always very kind and respectful to me. He genuinely had an approach to life "full steam ahead!!!" I will always remember him and my prayers are with his family.
It is very difficult to process this trageby. There are so many great things to say about Hassan but one thing I know for sure is that I am blessed to have had him as a friend. Although he was with us for only a short time, his mark was made and I know that I'm a better person for having him in my life. My heart is with his wife, children and family. There are many people who adored Hassan and could not be in Florida. I think a soccer tournament in his honor would be the perfect way to celebrate his life and raise money for his family. I am willing to help in this effort any way I can and can be reached at 540-247-8049.
May God Bless his Soul Wa Inna lillah Wa Inna Illaihi Rajioune.

" ان العين لتدمع و القلب ليحزن و لا يكون الا ماشاء الرحمان"
At the same day as my brother died I become a father of little "Safia" ! Soubhana alah. God Gives and God Takes.

Assalamo Alaikom,
I have known HASSAN MENDOUN (RAHIMAHOALAH) not for years, but it felt like I have known him for mu whole life.
I still can not find the right words and expressions to describe my deepest sorrow of his loss. he is the kind of person that can never be replaced. May ALLAh bless his soul and grant him JANA, and help his family to be among the SABIRINE.
Hassan you will always be there with us.

wa Inna lillah Wa Inna Illaihi rajioune! a great friend to all, mashaAllah! Could someone help his wife set up a paypal account and then add a button on here so we could donate to the family? I know of many who would like to donate to help them! Jazak Allahu Khair!
Yes indeed, Hassan Mendoun was a very kind person in every possible way. In the few occasions, I met with Hassan, through my husband, that he considered as a true friend, he was always very polite and respectful to others around him. I don't think that he deserved to die this way and in this tragic accident.
Well, may Allah bless his soul and bring him rest through his mercy in his heaven and alleviate the heart of his family and friends who are mourning his death!
Wa Inna lillah Wa Inna Illaihi Rajioune.

I meet Hassan four years ago and since then we became friends and what a friend was he. Genuine, honest and observing to his DEENE, these are the qualities I saw in Hassan. May Allah will accept him in his paradise. What can we do? Pray and Ask Allah to have mercy on him, his family and all of us until we meet him in the hereafter.
assalam to all and ina li allah wa ina ilayhi rajioun. hassa was very trust worthy and very humble brother to every one he meets in new york and new jersey , i can t take off his smiling mustach of my eyes and mind . rahimaka allah ya aki hassan and may allah be with your family
I DO WITNESS THAT HASSAN IS A MUSLIM,I DO WITNESS THAT HE WAS PRAYING ,OBSERVING RAMADAN AND DIED WITH LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH ,MOUHAMED RASSOUL ALLAH IN HIS HEART.I PRAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR HIM TO BE ACCEPTED IN JANNA AS A SHAHID.MAY ALLAH GIVE STRENGH TO HIS FAMILY AND CLOSED FRIENDS.INA LILLAH WA INA ILAYHI RAJI3OUN.
Dear you. I can't believe it and don't want to process it. May he rest in peace. I hope we can do something amazing for his family. Allah i rahmou! For the first time in my life, I felt that I lost somebody very important and it sucks to loose someone but a better life will kick in for him I hope!
To everyone who loved hassan, i am nora mendoun (hassan mendoun's sister in law). I was sent this link to a memorial fund for hassan's family. It was set up by souad's brother. Hassan was a beautiful person who loved life, his family, his faith, and his many friends. Whenever someone needed something, he was always the first one to reach out his hand. I'm hoping that now that he can no longer care for the ones he loved the most on earth, his wife and children, we can honor him by doing that for him. I hope that you can also forward this link to his many friends. thanks so much. Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. God bless you sweet hassan https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclic...

Every single word that was said about hassan it so true!!!!!We have never met anyone that was kind hearted and genuine.....His sudden death was a shock to many people that truly cared about Hassan..... We still remember the day that he reached out to help my sister from her accident, He loved my parents like they were his own!!!!This man's smile and presence will never be forgotten but it will always be remembered by all the people that new him. If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, we would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring him home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-by, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow what is meant to lose you, no one will ever know. May god bless your soul and be forever with your family....we love you

from my part the only thing i can say is that we lost a really true friend who was helping everyone and anyone,a giving person ,and really a man you count on it at any time and anywhere. the least we can do is pray GOD for him .
INA LILLAH WA INA ILAIHI RAGIOUNE.
ina lillah wa ina Ilayhi raji3oun .It is very difficult to express. Hassan Mendoun our Neighbour From L hermitage Over 40 years Hassan Mendoun Brother and uncle All our respect to you and your family .To Allah we belong and to him is our return. Ina Lillah Wa Ina Ilahe Rajoun.
I still can not believe it.
My condoleances to all his family and friends.
He was a good person full of energy and laughter.
اللهم أغفر له و ارحمه و اعفو عنه و أكرمه- اللهم وسع مدخله و ادخله الجنة
the first day I met Hassan, It felt as if I knew him for decades, not days or months, he was always smiling and laughing, and helping all that needed a hand; he was a brother I never had, a mentor and a wonderful being; May you rest in peace, may all our prayers be fulfilled and we promise we'll meet again, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, next month, next year...One day.
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji3oune
Unfortunately, I didn't have the honor of knowing this man in person. However, as new member of the community in the DC metro I am amazed at the number of Moroccans in the community from all socio-economic levels , who talked about this wonderful person with teary eyes, citing the many good things he has done without asking anything in return. Indeed, here is a role model who was working in the shadow for the betterment of his community and deserves to be taken as an example for unity for the entire Moroccan community. His lost will not only be felt by his immediate family, but rather a lost to all Moroccans from DC to Orlando. I am very sorry that this friend to many and fellow countryman is no longer with us. My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to his immediate family and friends.
Hassan was one of the best friend you could have in your life friendly generous and kind.
we played soccer game as usual in cristal city virginia and his team won the game we talked for awhile and everybody left to his home planing to meet next monday but monday came and hassan didn't.what a chock .
i m happy for him to die in this time if his life because it sing of good ending(hosna al khatima) he was very good muslim good father good husband helping the needy people suport some brothers who are in some fiancial problem. helping in dar la hijra masjid ............and the most important thing he did,he was one of the brothers who open center to teach quoran for the young muslims.may allah accept all his deeds and forgive him for what he did wrong ameen
and all priers to his family his wifeand his kids amine sarah and ayoub.
Ina lillah wa ilayhi rajioune
Till now I could not belive this trajic. I have know Hassan for about three years always felt that he was an older brother or a father to me always smilling I run into him every Friday at Adam center in Sterling VA. You will be missed and you will always be in our heart. It s big lost to our Moroccan Community abroad he was always helping everyone regardless if he know them or not. Rahamato Allah 3alik .
Akhi wa habibi Hassan, allah yarhamak, wa yuwassiia moudkhalak, wa yuskinka fasiha jannatih.
C'est avec grande tristesse et profond regret que la famille Fikri de Montréal, canada a appris cette douleureuse nouvelle, et envoye toutes ses condoléances à Souad et ses enfants (Allah yarzoukhoum bissaber) ainsi qu'au reste de sa famille ici aux USA et au Maroc.

Every single word said about Al marhoum hassan, is true and I can't believe that i can't see you anymore brother but you will be always with us in our heart:
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a memory,
No one else will fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day allah took you home.
He did what he thought best
And the only thing we can say,
Ina lillah wa ina ilayehi Rajioun.
May allah rest your soul in eternel peace and grant you the Jana, brother Hassan, and may God give a speedy recovery to my best friend your widow and nephew Adam and give strength to your family here and in Morocco.
