Raymond graduated from Alamogordo Senior High School, in Alamogordo, NM.  He then attended New Mexico State University Alamogordo where he studied mathematics.

Raymond began his career in management with Anthony’s clothing store.  His love and passion for taking care of his customers helped him grow as a store manager which led him and his family to Artesia, NM and Monahans, TX. He managed Anthony’s, Bealls, and Lowes Marketplace as a produce manager in Kermit, TX and Monahans, TX.

Anyone that knew Raymond, knew him for his sense of humor, who always had a joke or a prank making those around him laugh.  He was also known for his T-top Gold Trans Am, with the eagle on the hood, and his love of music of all genres, but especially Rock N Roll.

Raymond loved his family and friends and most of all, his new role as Paw Paw to Harrison.  They could be found taking walks around outside hunting for treasures and little conversations on his lap at the supper table.

Raymond was loved fiercely by his wife Lucia.  Through her faith in the Lord she found the strength that was needed to take care of him, never leaving his side. “This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.” 2 kings 20:5

Raymond loved his wife, kids, grandson, family, and friends and will be dearly missed by all.
