Raymond Joseph Roy was born into this world April 24, 1972 to Ray and Cheryl Roy in sunny Orange, California. A devoted son and grandson, a loyal brother and friend to all, Raymond was a true lover of life. Raymond passed away Christmas eve in a tragic car accident near Pacific, WA. Growing up in Port Orchard, he was a true sports fanatic, enjoyed going to the track, traveling the world, and spending time with his family and friends, all while in his shorts and sandals. His jobs in life included that of a soldier, a warehouse worker, and a carpet and tile layer. Raymond honestly lived every minute of the day with optimism and without a drop of hesitation. His infectious smile, his caring nature, and his constant phone calls are already greatly missed. He was welcomed into heaven by his grandfather Bert. Survived here on earth by his grandmothers Elsie, Memere, uncle Ken, parents Ray and Cheryl, his aunt Diana and family, his sister Brandy, brother Jack (Rachel), nieces and nephews Ashley, Conner, Jordan, Jason, Andrew, Amber and Vincent.
