Niev Khabeiry

Niev had a deep love of music and was a member of the Kalamazoo, Michigan "punk rock scene" of the eighties. He was a free spirit and moved around the country until settling in San Francisco, California in 1999. Eventually, Niev began working at a social service agency that helped individuals who had fallen on hard times. Niev enjoyed being an uncle to Claire and Carmen and would make yearly trips home to Michigan to spend time with his family.

Niev will be fondly remembered as a gentle and caring individual who touched the lives of many people. Niev struggled throughout his life with addiction and eventually lost the battle.
