Rasheed Matthews was born on September 26, 1975 to the late Harvey and Shelve Matthews. Rasheed was the youngest of seven children. Rasheed was educated in the Philadelphia school system. He had many skills most self taught. He always had a job and was willing to work. Rasheed was a generous person he liked giving gifts for birthdays and other special occasions. He loved his children dearly and did his best. He enjoyed spending time with them. Rasheed had a strong bond with his nieces and nephews who affectionately called him Unc. He also had a handshake he would do with family. He called it the Dirty. Rasheed enjoyed listening and dancing to the oldies with family. Life of the party! What party! Any party! He also liked shopping at nice thrift stores didn't matter how far. Last but not least he liked used cars he was always looking for a new used car if that makes sense. And he always had a good story to tell from behind the wheel. Rasheed was preceded in death by his parents Harvey and Shelva Matthews and his brother Michael. He leaves to cherish his memories, three sisters, Desiree, Sabrina, and Nena; two brothers Darryl and Darnell. His children: Khalilah, Rasheed#1, Rasheed #2, Tasha, Nafis, and Aadyen., Two grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family. and friends. A special thank you to Shavonne who cared for him until his passing. Also we are most grateful for Jermaine who is a true friend who was always there. He has been a part of our family for a long time. He is truly a blessing that we greatly appreciate. Rasheed loved styling and profiling! And he was a great storyteller! He will be missed!!
