Raymond Matthew Riner CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. Raymond Matthew Riner, 20, son of the late T-Tom and Becky Riner, passed away Nov. 14, 2010, with his family by his side at Vanderbilt University Hospital. Raymond fought a hard battle with Cystic Fibrosis until the very end. He touched many people's lives in many ways and those who knew him understand that the quality of his existence far exceeds the quantity of time that he lived. His big brown eyes and signature smile was truly an inspiration to all. Raymond was a 2008 graduate of Patrick Henry High School and attended UVA and the Art Institute of Nashville. He enjoyed playing golf, cooking, being with friends and most importantly hanging out with his family. Raymond is survived by his two brothers, Jeremy and Kodie Riner; grandparents, Raymond Nunley and Mike and Brenda Robins; aunt, Katie Crane; uncles, Mark Crane, Michael Quesenberry and Carter Riner; nephew, Tyler Crane; niece, Becca Crane; great-grandmothers, Beulah Nunley and Edra Riner; numerous cousins, great-uncles and great-aunts.
