Raymond, at his very essence, is a kind and empathetic spirit. His pure intentions were both welcomed and misunderstood or judged harshly, but yet Raymond remained steadfast in the fight to grow from the life experiences dealt to him.
When we got together, his curiosity was always welcome because he had a subtle way of making the people he talked to feel important, if even for a few seconds.
Raymond's kindness will forever glow, and what I remember is that he walked a path that so few will even see, let alone walk. He is a fierce voice for love and possibility.

Here is my big brother with Kiah when She had cancer he was there for me when we had to put her down. It was so hard for me but Raymond stepped up and was there for me he even carried her body to the pet services place. He was there when you really needed him. And he loved my dogs and Kiah loved him more than she loved me

My first-born son Raymond got a award for being 3rd biggest baby in hospital. From then on he demanded attention. He could light up a room and if he wasn't there everyone would ask wheres ray?. He could quote a movie if he liked it word for word and only had to see it once or twice. Raymond had a incredible memory. I know he wanted to be a guidance counselor for troubled teens because he knew what it was like. He was very giving and shared all he had and would give all he had. My heart is completely broken. I shall cry for my son forever. Love your mother that would never leave you.

I remember the very first time I met Raymond at his mom’s house. He was very complimentary and kind. Every single time I saw him he gave me a hug and only had good things to say. I will truly miss his sweet, gentle, kind soul. Peace to all those he touched.

Ray was such a sweetheart….. so kind & thoughtful. He would come over & help clear out my flower beds of weeds, making them look so nice. I was thinking of having him come over again this spring after he was done helping Aunt Barbara but…..
When he was working at Maverik, I always looked forward to seeing him because he would always come around the counter and give me a great big hug!
“Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” John 5:28. Until then Raymond will be asleep resting in God’s memory!

I first met Ray in elementary school. We became good friends all the way through high school. I always remembered him as having a big heart. He just wanted everyone around him to be happy. We lost touch after high school, but the words said about him in his memorial shows me that side of him never changed. It must have been in his DNA…something about him that couldn’t change. I will always remember that about him.
To Ray-I will always cherish the memories we had. My first all-nighter staying up playing FF7 (you were my step-by-step guide to beating it). Riding your go-cart in the field. Cruising state on the weekends with Chris. Too many to list. Rest easy my friend.
To Ray’s family-I’m so sorry for your loss. He was one of a kind and I’m so glad I got to know him growing up.

My cousin Raymond always made sure to stay connected with my brothers and I. We waited too long to go camping again, From paddling on the lake to late night Pokémon tournaments, those were some of the best times. I’ll miss you Ray!

Raymond was the first baby I had ever seen from my family. He was perfect and special. He gave me the proud title of Uncle Ed. I always loved him. Reading many of the gestures posted here, I am very appreciative of all the people his gentle kindness touched. He was loved by so many. His mother Betty loved him the most and did so much for him from birth until death. Please show her your same kindness that you showed her beautiful son.

Raymond , you had a heart of gold and the sweetest soul, everyone was drawn to you’re energy.I have so many fun childhood memories with you and your sister. We would laugh so hard even at the table food would be coming out of our noses literally! We also was there for each other through all the bad times getting into fights and having to say good bye to our dads forever. You have always been like family not friends. Raymond would always pick me up a swirl me around when he’d see me from a kid to an adult he always made me feel like a little girl when he did that. My heart is so broken. I am going to miss you so much. I love you ray ray!One last time..” Tag you’re it!!!!!!”

Raymond was my partner in pickleball. We we not the best team but we certainly were the most fun. We had our speaker and we dance as we played.We got better and Raymond's laughter and light made losing more fun than any other time I had during my days at Wasatch Crest. I got closer to Raymond than anyone else because his honesty, understanding, empathy all were a constant comfort as a friend. I loved this man in the short time I got to know him. He is at peace now but will be missed by so many cuz his spirit was magnetic and beautiful. Tragic for us left behind. I will see him again because knowing Raymond he will be the first to greet those he loved in the next adventure the after life. Love u my friend. Your with your Dad now and we will all be together again one day. Enjoy peace u deserve all the beauty the universe holds.

I know some of you were getting Raymond high, I will never forgive you. I miss days of me and him playing mega man or mk DK. To those of you that got Raymond high or on drugs I hope you all fucking rot in hell. When me and Raymond first met we were just gamers. And you all know who you are, that either introduced him to drugs or got him high. I met Ray Fernandez when me and him were in first grade. We had a wonderful relationship till he was introduced to getting high. You took my friend/brother away. He had a mom a sister and many more family members. I'm not here to tell you all what you want to hear. I love Raymond, I tried everything to keep him sober and off drugs. If you got Raymond high you were never his friend! Now he gone because you piece of shits introduced him to drugs. I don't expect like because I know you all used him. There so many memories with especially with kc and lance.i will always love you Raymond fly high brother.watch over your sister and mom. I love you Raymond I will never forget you little brother. We go back 32 plus years almost. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to write this but the reason is I'm destroyed. I will always play mortal kombat and think of you or final fantasy. I love you Raymond I will never forget you little brother. Raymond you met the world to anyone you met. Love Christopher Broadhead

Learning that the life of someone you know, or once knew has been cut short by death, especially when it's unexpected is never easy information to take in. I only knew Raymond when he was young. I first met him and his sister Rochelle along with their mom Betty after his father Ray took his own life. The pain and confusion such tragedy causes can't really be put in words. But I could see it in Raymond's face, he wanted answers, to understand, to make the pain go away. As I look at the photos of him as an adult, I see that same smile he had when he was young. I know he never got the answers to the questions that plagued him, or relief from the pain he felt. 1Corinthians 15:26 calls death an enemy. We can see the truth of that scripture in all the comments and faces of those who knew and loved him. One thing I tried to help Raymond appreciate is that soon Revelation 21:3,4 will become a reality here on earth. All the pain, the tears, and all the bad memories, will be replaced with joy and good memories. We will see his beautiful contagious smile again. We will hear his laughter, and enjoy his company once again, without the things that caused his suffering and influenced his choices negatively. Until then, may his family and friends receive the comfort and encouragement they need to cope with this great loss.

Heartbreaking.... Raymond was such a blast to work with. Never a dull moment! This kid could take the worst situation & have you rolling with laughter over it. He could take the most boring day & make it a fun. Every time we had a pissed off customer he would smile that big smile & say "have a nice day" with the utmost sincerity. Maybe you would have had yo be there, but hilarious. I am so heartbroken for his family & friends. And so grateful to have had a chance to know him.

This breaks my heart seeing you go so soon. I bet Betty is so crushed
;( She always worried about you because she loved you. So many memories flash in my head when we all worked at the landfill together. I remember you giving me advice on life in the scale house telling me that when you love someone then give all of yourself, not just some of you. Then after your counseling session, I returned the favor by giving you advice too. “Who knew we were both messed up!” you laughed saying that. Thanks for the friendship Ray… and Thanks for reaching out on Facebook just to say happy birthday to me. “How does it feel to be 13?”
You will be missed by so many
Rest in peace ♥️

I'm going to miss you, you were one of my first friends as a kid. I remember walking up the hill to your house so we could play super Nintendo, or jump on the trampoline or play with Spotlight... Then we grew up, and were roommates... we had so much fun, just living and trying to figure out adult life together...And I'm glad that continued throughout my life. We grew up together, watched each other get little wrinkles on our face from the laughs we had. Singing along to Fear Factory...theres too many good memories to put here...Thanks Raymond for being a friend. No, a part of the family! Save a few rounds of MK for me.

Oh Raymond, my heart is still not accepting you are done. Everytime I think of how final that is, my eyes flood with tears. All the memories with you I have. You were the closest of all the cousins to me. We were always the trouble makers. Smoking in spotlights dog house. Being idiot teenagers and bringing weed back from Hawaii. The cockroaches smoking a joint on the beach! Or being called the “stoner cousins” and me and you burning holes out KC’s plastic windows of his cavelier. My now irrational fear of letting anyone drink off my drinks or share food because you loved to torment me and drink my redbull after eating flaming hot Cheetos and then I would just give it to you. We were trouble makers all the way until it was the very reason why I’ve lost so much time with you. It all seems so fucking meaningless now. I could have had those years with you in my life. I’ve dreamt of you and your mom and Rachelle countless times. Nick has witnessed the tears shed because I hated how things were so much. I miss you and my heart has a hole that will never be filled again. I wouldn’t have Nick in my life without you! And we both were looking forward to you meeting her. Fuck I have so much more I want to say. Not in some fucking book but to you. I hate this so much. I’ll miss the sound of your laugh. I’ll miss you talking about Pokémon and never letting me win Mortal Kombat. Me and my sister barricading our doors when you and Rachelle would come over because we were terrified of our Barbie’s getting their heads ripped off. Lol. I can only hope that one day I’ll see you again and that you are finally free of all the pain you have endured. You touched so many people in your life. You will always be with me in my heart. I love you so much Raymond. Love Chrissy

My brother was MY BEST FRIEND we shed blood we should tears we encouraged each other. We picked each other up when one fell down. We would always have each other‘s back even if it was us against the world my brother never let anything happen to me and I did my best to make sure nothing bad happened to him in elementary school. My brother was unapologetically Raymond. he was a tough cookie. You don’t get to have an easy life on the west side of Kearns being different. He knew how to defend himself but he also had a kind nurturing side that would stop his car and stop traffic to make sure a dog could cross the road . My brother saw the good and everybody and maybe that’s something I wish I could’ve taken away from him because I struggle with that, but he taught me “not everybody’s evil you gotta give people a chance, everybody’s just trying to make it through life just like me and you don’t be so hard on everybody and especially don’t be so hard on yourself baby sis.” Ray, if I could get my life and trade places with you, I would do it 1000 times over.

My brother would give you the shirt off his back. My brother would drop everything to be there for you. When my dog died he dropped everything to be in the last moments for him so he went knowing he was loved by brother. He had an affinity for reptiles and could recite movies after watching 1 time! My brother lit up the room. Everywhere I went I would get asked “is Raymond your brother? WE LOVE YOUR BROTHER.” My brother had an effect on people he was that guy. When he worked he worked hard when he loved he loved even harder . He was too good for this world.

Ray Ray, you are so loved and will forever be in my heart and on my mind. Nothing compares with your quirky personality and the love you had to offer. Last time I saw you was at your birthday party, we drank, laughed, and danced until we couldn’t anymore. Your laugh and smile were infectious, even if we saw each other during not so great times we always found a way to end the night laughing. Stay silly my friend and know I love and miss you dearly.
