Hasan K. Lake's Obituary
Hasan Lake was born on July 29, 1972 in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Hasan loved being a father, a brother, a son, a barber and a rapper. He
has worked at several barber shops in St. Louis over the past fifteen
years and as a rapper he called himself HA-C-E. He recorded a rap cd
entitled “Laclede Town Survivor” in 2001 on his brother Gene’s record
label. Hasan was a creative artist in both of his fields of endeavors,
barbering and rapping.
He was also a very dedicated father to his only son, Khalil. Hasan loved
his family and he would always say “love unconditionally” and "family
first." He would often call his siblings just to say "I love you." As a kid,
Hasan grew up in the “Laclede Town” development in downtown Saint
Louis. This vibrant community played a large part in shaping Hasan’s
loving personality. He was inspired to dedicate his cd to his “Laclede
Town” memories.
His love for animals was also one of his defining characteristics. Hasan
was a unique thinker (that's an understatement) and loved a lively
discussion, he could make you laugh and also make you say “What did
he just say?!”
Hasan departed this life on October 10, 2020. He is preceded in death
by mother, Joyce Lake, who passed away four years ago. Hasan is
survived: by his son ~ Khalil Lake; six siblings ~ Kim Lake, Africa Lake,
Maya Lake, Yvette Savage, Gene Lake and Jahi Lake and father ~ Oliver
Lake.
