It is with unimaginable sorrow that I share the passing of my beautiful daughter, Raven Charlie Kassi. She left this world far too soon on February 13, 2025, at the age of 18. No words can truly capture the depth of our loss or the incredible person she was.

Raven was a light in our lives—brilliant, kind, and full of passion for the things she loved. She grew up in Richland, Washington, where she made a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She excelled in school, always striving for greatness, and was an A & B honor roll student. She had a deep love for history, always eager to learn about the past, and her favorite color was green—just like her soul, full of life and vibrance.

She found joy on the tennis court, where she played with determination and grace. But more than anything, she adored her little sister, Harlie. At just five years old, Harlie was Raven’s greatest joy, and the bond they shared was unbreakable. Raven was an amazing big sister—protective, loving, and always ready to make Harlie laugh.

She was my greatest gift, my brightest star, and my heart will never be the same without her. Her stepfather, Gregory Road, and I will forever cherish the time we had with her, though it was far too short. Raven was loved beyond measure, and while she is no longer physically with us, her spirit will live on in the memories we hold and the love she gave so freely.

Raven, my sweet girl, I will miss you every second of every day. Until we meet again, my love for you will never fade.
