Mohammed was preceded in death by his father, his mother, his brother Azzidine, and his sister Zahia.

Mohammed loved to read, travel, and his passion was soccer. Mohammed was a very intelligent man whose mind constantly absorbed the world around him, whether through books, medical journals, or Worldly news. Mohammed spoke Arabic, French, English, and was learning Spanish. 

Dr. Mohammed Fercha, will be remembered by his family in an intimate ceremony at a later date.
