RASHEED WAS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HIS FATHER, DAUD RASHEED FOTEH, AND HIS BABY SISTER, IBTISAM. RASHEED IS SURVIVED BY HIS MOTHER, ELLEN FOTEH; HIS SIBLINGS: ANGELINA, NADIR, FRED AND HIS WIFE JANICE. HIS FIVE CHILDREN: DAVID AND HIS WIFE CHERIE, CYNTHIA, RUSTY, JEFFREY, HIS GRANDCHILDREN, JAROD AND LONDON, HIS NEPHEW BRANDON AND WIFE GABRIELLE AND NIECE BROOKE.
RASHEED WAS BORN ON OCTOBER 25, 1947, IN RAMALLAH, PALESTINE, WHERE HE SPENT HIS CHILDHOOD. IN THE EARLY 1960S, RASHEED MOVED TO HOUSTON, TEXAS, WHERE HE ATTENDED WALTRIP HIGH SCHOOL AND GRADUATED IN 1965.
AFTER GRADUATING, HE WENT TO WORK IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS WITH HIS FATHER, WHERE HE WOULD SPEND MUCH OF HIS CAREER.
WHILE RASHEED WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS, THEY TAKE COMFORT IN THEIR HOPE OF A BETTER FUTURE. THEY BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE'S PROMISE OF A RESURRECTION, WHERE THE DEAD WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE AND REUNITED WITH THEIR LOVED ONES ON A PEACEFUL AND RESTORED EARTH (JOHN 5:28-29). THEY ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME THEY HAD WITH HIM AND THE MEMORIES THEY SHARED. DURING THIS TIME, THE FAMILY TRULY APPRECIATES THE SUPPORT AND THOSE WHO HAVE OFFERED CONDOLENCES, PRAYERS, AND ASSISTANCE.
