Jaheem, was never afraid to let his personality shine and once you knew him, you loved him! He was very articulate, smart, funny, sweet and very kind. He was a people’s person and loved being around family and friends.  Jaheem, shared a close and very devoted relationship with his sister Aiyona and brother Christopher, but his biggest devotion and never ending love was to his mother Coretta. His light shined bright in the eyes of his niece Aiya who absolutely adored her Uncle Jaheem.  Jaheem is lovingly survived by his parents Coretta S.Mcknight and Keith Alston.
