Remembering Rashawn

A life held close in memory

Rashawn Fenner was a young man from Baltimore whose life and presence mattered to family and neighbors in his community. Public records of the time identify him by name as a resident connected to the North Carey Street area of the city. He was in his mid-twenties when he died on January 15, 2017 — a loss noted alongside other young people taken from Baltimore that year.

While no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death could be located in established obituary databases or newspaper archives, contemporary local reporting and compiled victim lists recorded his death and the place where it occurred. These community-compiled lists and local features place Rashawn among the residents and neighbors whose lives were part of the everyday fabric of Baltimore neighborhoods such as Gilmor Homes and Carey Street.

Because there is no family-authorized public obituary available in the sources searched, many personal details about Rashawn’s work, hobbies, education, or close relatives are not present in the public record accessible to this research. That absence does not diminish the fact that he was a real person whose life had meaning to people who knew him. This remembrance honors him as an individual — a member of a Baltimore neighborhood, referenced in local accounts of 2017 — and acknowledges the grief and questions his passing brought to those who cared for him.

If family members or close friends wish to provide further details (stories, photos, accomplishments, or preferred language for a memorial), including full obituary text or a funeral-home notice, those would permit a fuller, family-centered remembrance to be written and published. For now, this life story offers recognition of Rashawn Fenner as a young Baltimorean whose life mattered to his community.
