Raymond Alex Defosses III

Happy birthday Peachie!!! I still can't believe you're gone, God do I miss you! We talk about you often, I will never forget our memories, good & bad, falling asleep on the phone together then going to school the next day and having my sister drop us off afterwards. This picture is how I'll always remember you. Duckie isn't doing just peachy anymore, she's hurting not being able to talk to you.

My heartfelt sorrow goes out to my longtime friendship with Ray, Cindy, Christina, Amanda & Jessica I will always remember "Little Ray", the man with a "Big Heart & Big Smile" Not only would he give you the shirt off his back, he would buy you a pair of needed shoes with that big smile of his. Little Ray so enjoyed working with his Dad in the family's plumbing business as an apprentice. Over the years I watched him grow from a young child to one day becoming a Master Plumber. ...

uncle ray i only got to meet you one time, but you didn´t hesitate once to be right by my side when my father died. you had an amazing heart and i´ll never forget all the things we bonded over. i´m so proud to be your niece. make sure to hug dad for me.

Dear Ray & Cindy & Christina & Amanda & Jessica It was with a very heavy heart that I read of Raymond's passing. I never had that pleasure of meeting him, but reading his obituary, he was clearly a beautiful soul with a kind and giving heart who brought light into the lives of all who were blessed to know and to love him. It was a lifetime ago when we were friends and classmates at St. Mary's Ray. I will never forget your walking me home after school. My father Frank always told me that...

This isn't goodbye. I'll see you in the new system. Until then I'll keep making you proud. I'll look at our matching tattoos everyday and think of you everyday. We love you

Raymond you've been my bestfriend since the day I met you. However, this isnt goodbye... we will see each other again in the new system. I'm so proud of how far you have came. We started this journey together and I will continue making you proud.. until we meet again 143

Ray was always there for anyone no matter what you were going through. He helped me change my life around and inspired me to be a better person. No matter what we went through,he always had a smile on his face. We had so many good times fishing working together. I will see you in the resurrection soon brother, and we will go fishing again together. I love you and I'll always have a piece of you in my heart. I'll see you soon brother.

You were the light in my life as a kid with all the darkness I had at home. You listened and I will forever be grateful for knowing you and having your friendship Love you Ray. Fly high!
