No one we track was surely alive alongside Khafre

Our coverage of the ancient world is thin: we only include people whose birth and death can be dated to within 25 years. These lives may have overlapped with Khafre’s, but their dates are too uncertain to say: Menkaure.

The nearest lives we can place: Qa'a died about 275 years before Khafre was born, Neferefre was born about 45 years after Khafre died and Unas was born about 150 years after Khafre died.
