Obituary

Terrence Saleem Hall aka Tiny was born on July 5, 1977 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the oldest son and child of Denise Hall and Clarence Washington Jr. He also received his education in the Philadelphia public school system.
For some time, Tiny was employed as a labor and factory worker. He was also an employee at Chili's and construction work and other odd jobs with his uncle Tyrone Hall.


As a child, his ings remember him as a bright, tall and lanky kid who had a goofy sense of humor and would play with his food by making funny sounds with his hot dogs. One thing people may not know about Tiny is that he loved animals, especially reptiles. He had every pet that you could think of, from Komodo dragons, snakes, snapping turtles to frogs, lizards and crabs. He even tried to get an alligator one time. As a kid, he dove head first into swampy waters one day to catch a humongous turtle. He was fearless, he disappeared into the swamp and came out victorious with that turtle. His pets were like his best friends, they gave him joy.


As a young man, he was a warrior. He didn't take slack from anyone, he had no problem defending himself, his cousins, siblings and family. He loved to rumble and knocked out dudes twice his age and size. His favorite saying was "you better represent, don't be no sucker out here in these streets." He really could have been a professional boxer.


Tiny was also a ladies magnet with his jet black curly hair and the perfect shape-up that all the ladies loved. He was a thorough dresser too, he always put thought into what he wore and made sure his outfits were well put together.
As an older man, Tiny was a gentle giant. He met people with an infectious smile and a coy contagious laugh. But he would tell you in a minute to "Give me my respect!" Tiny enjoyed chilling out and listening to music. In his younger years, he would blast "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" or anything by Scarface, Geto Boys or Bone Thugs N Harmony. He also loved busting a move while imitating MC Hammer, but if you caught him at a house party he was no stranger to slow dancing with the ladies. These days, you would find Tiny at his house listening to Rod Wave and making one of his famous meals.


Tiny departed this life on February 16, 2023 and leaves to cherish his memories: mother, Denise, father, Clarence, grandmother, Barbara Washington, siblings Clarence better known as Boop or Poppy, Jasmine, Marvin and Jamarr, a nephew Amari and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other loving relatives and friends.
