Pashedu lived in Deir el-Medina on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reign of Seti I and possibly Ramesses II.

[2][3] His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.

Pashedu seems to have succeeded Baki as foreman for the left side during the reign of Ramesses II.

Another son named Qaha is mentioned in the tomb as well.

It is possible a third man named Nebenmaat (attested in TT219) is a son of Pashedu as well.
