Jaamel, affectionately known as “Mel” graduated from Churchland High School in 2007. He attended Virginia State University during which time his pride and joy, Makayla Naomi Holland was born. He later met and married the love of his life, Cassandra Marie Johnson. Mel was a loving father to Antonio and DeAnte Graham with created a beautiful blended family. Mel worked at SYSCO, Hampton Roads – Wholesale Restaurant.
Jaamel gave us 33 years of love, joy, good times and laughter. The room lit up every time he walked in one. He was always the life of the party; whether it was for him, his peers or his family. Whenever any one of us were down, he always knew how to lift us up. Joking around was his forte’, so we always knew whenever he came around the jokes were right behind him. To know Jaamel is to love him. He was filled with so much life and light. He always showed respect and did his best to honor us all.
Jaamel leaves behind to cherish his precious memories: his wife Cassandra Marie Johnson, his daughter, Makayla Hollands, hissons, Antonio and DeAnte’ Graham, his mother and father Dia Johnson and Scotty Parker, his father Joseph Hooker Jr., his sisters, LaToya Calabrese, Johnelle Johnson and Tomekia Felton, his paternal grandmother, Mary V. Parker, his Uncles, Duian Garner, Duaine (June) Johnson, William (Gloria Jean) Hunt, Calvin (Mary) Hunt, his Aunts Damon (Kevin) Smith, Marcella Parker and Evelyn Parker and a host of nieces, nephews, great aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.

March 4, 2022 at 5:11 pmMy heart is full and there are no words of condolence that I can express that will soothe your pain. But I know God sets high and looks low and has all power in his hands and will comfort you while you are going through these times. I pray God continues giving each one of you peace. I will miss the long talks Jaamel and I use to have and him coming by my house play his music so loud pulling me out of the house to dance with him. Heaven waits for him.
