Rasheed enjoyed music, performing, dancing and specially making everyone laugh. He played football and basketball. One of his greatest joys in life was spent on the football fields watching and coaching his sons. Rasheed had a larger-than-life personality with a joyful, funny and passionate heart. He loved hard and he fought hard, which was his hallmark in life. He played football, but his favorite sport was basketball where he was silky on the basketball court and had some of the best handles out there. If you asked him, he created the Hesi Crossover. Rasheed absolutely loved spending time with his wife Kelly and sons as well as playing with his dogs Abel, Athena and Kingston. He loved hitting the streets and letting his dreads flow in the wind as he mashed his Harley around town. His biggest passion in life was his music. He had such great experiences rapping and jumping in cyphers and doing shows from Idaho to Utah. He had such a way of sharing his life, his pain and his heart through his music. The best dancer in the family, he always had a knack of being able to brighten up the room with jokes and witty comments. He cherished the long and short talks with his nieces Taya, Aleia and LaKayla. He loved family!
