He was not very talkative .. a lot of thinking .. his view was deep as a wide sea .. his day began before people .. and his dreams go beyond his years .. he loved his wife Latifa .. he loved Dubai .. faithful to the union .. he left quietly after he filled the world with noise with his deeds .. and what Are gone…

كان قليل الكلام.. كثير التفكر .. نظرته عميقة كبحر واسع .. يومه يبدأ قبل الناس .. وأحلامه تتجاوز سنواته .. محباً لزوجته لطيفة .. عاشقاً لدبي .. مخلصاً للاتحاد .. رحل بهدوء بعد أن ملأ الدنيا ضجيجاً بأعماله .. وما زالت .. #رحيل_راشد_٣٠عاماً pic.twitter.com/OYhDddTA0V
