Raymond Gravois Jr. Obituary

A memorial Mass will be celebrated Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018, at 11:30 a.m. at House of Prayer Church in Thibodaux for Raymond J. Gravois Jr., 56, a native of Vacherie and resident of Thibodaux, who lost his battle with cancer on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, Feb. 10, from 8:30 a.m. at House of Prayer Church, with a mass afterwards at 11:30 a.m. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery in Thibodaux.

Raymond was the beloved husband of Cindy Naquin Gravois of 35 years; father of Tony Gravois and wife, Kacie, Joshua Gravois and wife, Samantha, and Justin Gravois and girlfriend, Ashley LeCompte; grandfather of Emma Gravois who shares his birthday. He is also survived by brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and great-nieces and great-nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Gravois Sr. and Olga Kliebert Gravois; and a sister, Priscilla Landry.

Raymond was an employee at National Oilwell Varco in Houma for 24 years and a member of House of Prayer Church for 17 years.

Raymond followed in the footsteps of the Lord and helped others whenever possible. His kind heart, gentle soul, nurturing guidance, bright personality, and quick witted humor made him loved and adored by many. He was an outdoorsman who loved hunting and fishing, spending time with loved ones especially his granddaughter, working in his vegetable garden and worshiping the Lord. Though his battle over cancer was long and strenuous, his faith never wavered.

He will be forever loved by his family and friends.

Thibodaux Funeral Home Inc. is in charge of arrangements.
