Raheem Shala Talley Jr. was born on September 24th, 1992 at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, New York to Raheem Talley and Emily Ellison-Talley. "Stinka" or "Nu-Nu" , as he was affectionately known, unexpectedly transitioned home on April 12, 2023 at the age of 30 years old.

Raheem graduated from Menchville High School in Newport News, VA. Later, he attended Norfolk State University and more recently, was studying business administration at Strayer University. While attending NSU, Raheem met Brenai; the love of his life, and with whom he shared two beautiful children.

Raheem was a devoted father and family man who believed in protecting and providing. Family meant the world to him. He was kind-hearted, intelligent, competitive, loving, silly, stylish, and so handsome. He had natural tenacity, swag, and charisma. And his big, beautiful eyes and bright smile could light up any room. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and could be counted on to lend a helping hand. He loved rap music, working out, and was so ambitious. He aspired to be his "own boss" and was working hard towards becoming an entrepreneur. He is immensely loved by many and his physical absence will leave an irreparable dent on our hearts.

He is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Albert Ellison & Lee Curtis Swinton, as well as his best friend, Jarin. He is survived by, his parents, Raheem and Emily Talley (VA), his life partner, Brenai Morgan and 2 children, Brooklyne and Nahji Talley (VA); 3 sisters, Rahzané Talley (Tehron) (MD), Rahyana Talley and Rahniya Talley (VA); 1 niece, Samorah Gilbert (MD), 2 grandmothers, Elizabeth Ellison and Linda Mosley (NY), and grandfather Walter Talley (NY); 6 aunts, Cynthia Clarke (VA), Gail Davis (Darnell) (VA), Seleina Muldrow (Anthony) (VA), Jennifer Ellison (Benjamin) (NY), Tamika Swinton (Anton) (NY), and Faith Talley (NY).
