Mikal Salaam

Mikal Salaam, born Mikal Randall on March 29, 1948 in Dallas, TX, and most recently of Mesquite, Texas, passed away on December 1, 2025. A humble and reliable soul, Mikal dedicated his life to service, working for the Dallas Housing Authority, where he diligently maintained the homes of many families. His generosity was a beacon to those around him, his loving nature a comfort to those he held dear. In the words of Albert Schweitzer, "The only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve."

Mikal was a testament to the power of love and family. A devoted father, he cherished his daughter, Fatimah Randall, who survives him. The love he had for his children and grandchildren was a force that shaped his world. His reliability and generous spirit were the foundations upon which his family built many cherished memories. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought, his humility shining through in every action.

Mikal was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Ora Randall and Willie Broadnax. Their teachings and love shaped him into the remarkable man he became - a man who touched the hearts of everyone he met. A graveside service will be held on Monday, 15 Dec 2025 at 2:00pm CST at Laurel Land Memorial Park, 6300 South R L Thornton Freeway, Dallas, Texas, 75232.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Mikal, with his loving, humble, generous, and reliable nature, left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him. We invite you to share your memories and upload photos of Mikal on his memorial page as we remember and celebrate a life well-lived.
