Raheem graduated from Lee Central High School. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Bishopville SC. In his pastime, Raheem enjoyed singing, being around family and making people laugh. 

Raheem was loving, strong-willed, and courageous. Through adversity, hardships, and moments of struggle, Raheem continued to rise guided by inner strength, determination, and an unshakable spirit. Although life was marked by trials and tribulations, that would have broken many but never broke him.

Now, Raheem rests beyond the reach of struggle, free from the weight he carried so bravely. Though he has laid down his earthly burdens, his journey does not end here. His strength lives on in memory. His courage echoes in the lives he touched, and his legacy remains forever.
