Kasheem Travis Martin

Kasheem was a thoughtful and kind-hearted individual who was beloved by all who knew him. His love for basketball was evident, and he was a fan of both the NY Giants and the Chicago Bulls. Kasheem had a passion for music and enjoyed taking Sunday drives. He was also fond of grilling and proudly called himself "the Grillmaster." Kasheem's legacy of kindness and devotion to his loved ones will be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Kasheem’s mother was his peace.
