Raymond Werner Obituary
Funeral services will be held at Cloverdale Church of God on Friday, February 23, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. Following the service, family and close friends will be going to the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery for a burial ceremony. There will be a celebration of life at Cole Valley Christian High School in the gym around 2:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to the funeral and the celebration of life. Chris Standridge will be leading the service as he was a huge part of Raymond's life.
Ray was born in Long Beach, California, on November 14, 1985. Ray moved to Idaho at a young age where he went to East Canyon Elementary, Vallivue Middle and High School, then went to Cole Valley Christian High School. Raymond graduated in 2004 and went to Boise State University, where he went for one year. While attending BSU he joined Alpha Kappa Lambda.
Ray met the love of his life, Lacey Werner, at Lonestar Steakhouse where they were both employed. They were married on Wednesday June 28, 2006, at Kathryn Albertson Park in Boise, Idaho.
Ray loved fishing, camping, skiing, hunting, golfing, sleeping, eating, making people laugh, hanging out with friends and family, going to McCall, and most of all working hard for our country. Ray was so excited to travel to Europe, Disneyland, New York and many tropical places.
Ray was very athletic and participated in football and wrestling while in high school. He was also the class clown and mascot at Cole Valley Christian High. Ray was a Christian and attended church at Eagle Heights Baptist and also Calvary Chapel. Ray would go to church camps when he was younger and became a strong role model and leader to everyone around him. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.
Ray is survived by his wife, Lacey Werner; mother, Kathy Elledge; step-father, Eric Elledge, and brother, Roger Spencer. Ray also has another mother figure who survives him, Joyce Boston and three father figures that were also a big influence in his life, Ken Whitmire, Roger Babb and Jim Smith.
Ray is preceded in death by his grandparents, Leo and Sandra Spencer.
Ray had a special talent with people, it seemed like he actually made you a better person when you hung out with him. His fun-loving attitude was contagious to everyone around. Ray was a wonderful son and brother, a great friend, and the best husband a wife could ask for. Raymond Mitchell Werner will be greatly missed by all, but a part of him will always be in our hearts.

I have taken part in a program through my wife's employer that will raise money for the Fallen Heros Memorial. As part of that program I recieved one of the black bracelets with the name of a "Fallen Hero" & PVT. Werner is the one that I recieved. I am a conservation warden (or what most states call a Fish & Game Officer) that is responsible for patrolling the nothern Nicolet National Forest in WI near the Upper Michigan Border for fish and game poachers, this bracelet is now part of my uniform and will be with me on my own "tour of duty". Although I am a lifelong resident of WI, when I was in my late teens & early 20's I was a forest fire fighter and spent a couple weeks in Idaho fighting the Lowman Fire back in 1989, and spent some time at the fire center in Boise. From that day I have nothing but positive memories of the landscape and people I met through that experience. By reading this page and getting to know the kind of person that Raymond was I am honored to have the opportunity to show my support for what he has done as a soldier, as well as a person.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Our prayers are with you Lacy and all of his family. Ray is truly a hero for our country. He will always be remembered in our hearts for his kindness, humor, and respect he had for others. I will always remember how he always would come to the car and greet us with a warm friendly smile as I dropped my daughter off at Cole Valley Christian High School. He always cheered me up just to see him in the mornings. He not only was a soldier for our country, but also a good soldier for our Lord. 2 Tim 4:7; I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

Heaven's Call
Heaven called and you were taken
So young to go, to young to know
The call of heaven did not wait
Your time here a short stay
You were called away
To be part of God’s everlasting garden
Borrowed seed from the Master
A small little bud that graced us with your beauty
Now returned upon heaven’s call
A finely chosen rose
Taken before it bloomed
Before your beauty had time to unfold
He is the Gardner and you his prize winning bud
Perhaps He seen a storm that you could not with stand
So he picked you before the wind would fall
The memories forever etched in our hearts
Our little bud now blooms
With the angels up on high

Thank you Pvt. Werner. The bravery and sacrifice of this young hero will not be forgotten. May God surround your family with love and strength.
February 15, 2007
To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
