Naseem Abraham Kassees

The Kassees family is saddened to announce that Naseem Kassees, 64, made his transition into eternal life on July 15, 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida. He was born in Corpus Christi, Texas on May 9, 1956. He was the second son of seven children of Abraham Atallah Kassees and Najla Abraham Kassees. He graduated from Englewood High School in Jacksonville, Florida. Naseem married the love of his

life, Martha Jane Gazaleh on January 24, 1977.

Naseem was a very unique person with a great sense of humor. He was very straight forward. In his prime he loved to cook on the grill. He was one of the best! He also gave great advice. He always greeted you with a wonderful smile and a unique look that you could not help but smile. Naseem finally made his way to the “Upper Room”. In the words of Naseem, “Oh My Silly Side, I Must Have Been Dreaming, ‘Cause I Woke Up Screaming.”

Naseem was predeceased by his son, Naseem Abraham Kassees, Jr. (June Bug); his father, Abraham Atallah Kassees; his sister, Cleopatra Kassees Shannarah (Cleo); his brother, Essam Abraham Kassees and his sister, TajMaher Abraham Kassees and his sister, Dulyla Abraham Kassees.
