Raymond C. Byrd, Jr.'s Obituary

Obituary For Raymond C. Byrd, Jr.

Raymond Carl Byrd Jr. was born December 20, 2007 in Canton, OH to LaDonna DeVeaux and Raymond Carl Byrd Sr. Raymond departed this earth to be with his heavenly Father July 14, 2023. He was a tenth grade student at McKinley Sr. High School. Raymond loved to play soccer, basketball, football, and wrestling but still excelled at every sport he played. He had always dreamed of being a professional soccer player one day.

Raymond enjoyed spending one-on-one time with his mother, especially when they had their special dates. He also valued his time with his sister, Rayell, whose relationship had grown stronger and stronger as time went on. Raymond and his older brother, Korrell, had an understanding between them that few were able to match. He loved attending church and baking cookies with his “Suga Mama” (Marilyn Everett). Raymie, as his grandparents affectionately call him, enjoyed spending quality time with them and loved making money by assisting his grandfather, Toney, with his lawn care business. Money was a big motivator of his, and he used his creativity and quickly-learned skills to succeed in whatever he set his mind to.

Preceded in death by Uncle Clarence Lamar Rutledge.

Raymond took part in my summer Program Health is Wealth last summer and he was an amazing kid. He asked the most questions and always had a smile on his face. I pray for your family and friends he will be missed.

I was a friend of Raymond from jre. He was always such a happy soul and a good friend. I remember when me, him, my brother, and rayell used to all hang out and play Roblox together. And I'm gonna miss Raymond even if it's been years since I've last seen him, he will always have a positive impact on my life and I'm grateful he was my friend. God gained another angel and may his souls rest easy. -Amari M
