Raheem Devon Redding

RAHEEM’S JOURNEY Raheem DeVon Redding, age sixteen (16) of Princess Anne, Maryland was born on October 11, 2008, to Rondell DeVon Redding and Jade Tiara Redding in Salisbury, Maryland. Raheem transitioned to his eternal rest on Monday, March 17, 2025. Raheem, also known as Fatman, was a very loving and caring child. People always looked forward to his fist bumps, hugs and kisses! His famous sayings were, “You Okay, You Sure, Don’t Move, I Be Right Back, See You, Byeeee, and Love You.” To know him, was to love him. He taught all who knew him how to love unconditionally and he showed it to everyone he met. He knew no stranger. Educated in the Somerset County Public School system, Raheem enjoyed sitting outside, going for walks, playing with his trucks, and bowling. But most of all, he loved playing on his iPad, watching Bubble Guppies, Paw Patrol, Mickey Mouse and Family Feud. In 2020, Raheem gained a new “buddy” named Sky. He loved to lay down with her on the floor, go outside and play ball, but most of all he loved to share his food with her. Sky will miss her partner dearly, but she will be lovingly cared for by his family. Raheem leaves his family to cherish loving and unforgettable memories: parents, Rondell and Jade Redding; seven siblings, Jayden, Nari, Tristin, Teagan, Journee, Ryan and Lakelyn; grandparents, Loisisha Redding, Warren Carter and Marie and Ronald Belote (Lois); three aunts; Shirelle McNeil, Natasha Carter and Tiffany Parker (Donte); four uncles, Lamar White, Andrew Carter, Timothy Carter and Dominic Hayward (Monica); five great aunts, Priscilla Redding, Laura Polk (Jaye), Onieda Walker (Alexander), Cherry Doane, and Linda White; four great uncles, Rudell White, Larry Belote (Robin), Richard Belote (Debbie) and Raymond Belote (Marlena); two great aunts, Gwendolyn Belote and Joyce Schoolfield (Louis); two great-great-great aunts, Marie Trader and Gladys Collins and one great-great uncle, Alphonso Hemmeain (Sharae). In addition to his immediate family, Raheem was blessed with love and support by many, many, many cousins and honorary aunts, Nicole Nesbitt, Michel’le White and Brittany Bozman and uncles, Jerry Holbrook and Lemuel White, who were like family in every way that mattered. Raheem also leaves cherished memories with the students and staff members of the Somerset County Public Schools system. He was preceded into eternity by grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. We will miss you, Ra-heem DaVon Redding.
