OBITUARY – Buffalo, NY – Keith O. Rahaim, Jr., 25, of Buffalo, NY, formerly of Westminster and Leominster, MA, died suddenly on Monday, August 22, 2016.
Keith was born in Leominster on March 26, 1991, a son of Keith O. Rahaim, Sr., and Paula (Philbin) Lynde. He attended Oakmont Regional High School and Leominster High School before graduating from Kaplan Career Institute with High Honors in the Electrical Field. Keith worked for ABC Construction in New York. He was also the co-owner of Cover Your Bases Co. in Buffalo, NY with his cousin Devin.
Friends and family knew Keith as a dedicated and talented musician with an insatiable lust for making music, going by the stage name “M.E.O.” in the hip hop community. A testament to the type of community-oriented person he was, Keith was also a major supporter of his friends’ musical endeavors, always sharing and spreading the word of their work. Keith’s larger-than-life personality and mischievous smile would light up any room. Strikingly handsome and devastatingly charming, his presence would always make an immediate impact. Keith will forever be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Rahaim, Sr., and his wife Mary of Ashburnham; his mother, Paula Lynde and her husband Scott of Leominster; brother, Conan Rahaim and his wife Samantha of Fitchburg; sisters, Brittney Desmarais and her fiancé Corey Maki of Leominster and Misti (Rahaim) Torres and her husband Jose Torres of Leominster; step-sisters, Randi-Jo Taylor of NH, Tobi Brown of Gardner and step-brother, Sam Taylor of NC; great grandmother, Katherine Nousis; grandmother, Virginia Hurtubise; uncles, Phil Rahaim, Randy Simoneau; aunts, Christine Simoneau, Elizabeth Philbin, Julia Rahaim-Cotter; best friend, business partner, and cousin Devin Brown; five nieces and nephews; several other cousins.

“Never be afraid to show emotion, it doesn’t make you weak. If you love someone, tell them. Let that love light shine. Love Is Love Is Love.” – Keith O. Rahaim, Jr.
