I'm sure nobody remembers me from our old 6th st. Apt in Erie. But Rashad was my best friend and neighbor in grade school. I thought about him often. I even tried to find him on social media years ago. Today I randomly looked Rashad up because I met a young man that reminded me of him. I came across his obituary and my heart sank. He was a kind and loving soul. He always looked out for me and made me laugh. Yes, Rashad, you can be Lisa Lisa❤️
With deepest sympathy, Erin Davis (Presogna)

Rose, so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and the family with lots of love.

My prayers are with Ahamad's family. I had the pleasure of working with Ahmad. He was a "quiet storm", had a laugh that made you join in, and always positive. It was bittersweet when he accepted the job at FedEx Ground, but he made sure to always check on his former Memphis work team. He will be missed. Kathie Walthall

Ahmad, you were one of the most genuine and caring humans I have ever known. I'm going to miss your laughter and our conversations about work and life. I'm so glad I took the time to tell you how proud I was of you for your accomplishments of being offered the manager position at FedEx Ground and I was especially proud of you for standing on your faith and always having positive words to say despite everything that was happening in the world. Your baritone voice and gentle heart will be sorely missed. I hope your family knows you were loved and admired by us all at FedEx Services. I am sending my deepest and sincerest condolences to the family of Ahmad. Rest well, Ahmad...-Kristie Castilow

The world lost a beautiful soul. Sending prayers and all my love, Mary Jo Arnold
