Douglas Primm Sr

Douglas, Charles Primm Senior was born July 14, 1967, in Akron Ohio. He was the third born of 10 siblings consisting of five brothers and four sisters. As a spiritual man of God and devout study, Douglas’s journey of 38 years was accompanied by long friend and loving wife Veena, who birth him three sons Bilal R.II, Elijah J., Nathaniel O., and exuberant daughter, Jasmine R. Passing down great lessons of wisdom and knowledge of self, he would live to witness and enjoy the continuance of his legacy through the birth of seven grandsons Noah D., Ethan D., Malik D., Isaiah D., Sir E., Harrison E., and Owen E. As a young man, Douglas would embark on many phases and religious studies, expanding his understanding of the infinite, while strengthening his connection with The All Mighty. At 11 years of age, he spoke at podiums on the teachings and principles given to the nation by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. When he was 29, he would join the Prince Hall Masons and become a 32nd degree. In two years’ time he would also become a member of the Ancient Arabic Order Of Nobles Of The Mystic Shrine. He wasn’t only limited to religious knowledge; as he also went as far to expand his spiritual knowledge when becoming a certified Ifa priest. As a priest he practiced African spiritualism and connecting to the way of our ancestors at the age of 45. Helping many along the way, Douglas would be a voice of guidance and enlightenment for those searching to find themselves in the universe of questions and shrouded world of mystery. In 1986 Douglas graduated from Flint Central high school and would later graduate with a bachelor’s in psychology from Argosy University. His degree in psychology would only deepen his innate understanding of people, as well as their plights and inner battles. While assisting people with advice to overcome their generational adversities. Skilled in the Arts, a masters in the science of beauty, he would succeed as a beautician and photographer. He performed at some of the largest hair shows within the U.S, managed high end salons, and owned a salon called Jasmine’s Reyarpsdrol. Though he excelled in different endeavors and professions in his life, it shadowed in comparison to his principles that he held as a man, a father, and for family. Being born of the lineage of Primm’s he would always stress the importance of continuing the family legacy. He came from a very large family, filled with members bearing the same namesake as a badge of honor, he too wore his family name on his chest with pride. A man of intelligence and integrity. He will be missed for his open-mindedness and ability to talk to anyone when he was needed. All you had to do was ask if you could pick his brain, and he would reply “Shoot”, with open ears, and honest feedback. It is that presence in conversation that will be missed the most.
