Visit the Memorial Murray Mortuary website to view the full obituary.

Our precious baby boy, Jace Owen Ballantyne Chika Raymond Jr., was born on October 26, 2025, at Jordan Valley Labor and Delivery, and passed peacefully in the arms of love on October 27, 2025. Though his time on earth was brief, his presence filled our hearts with immeasurable joy and everlasting love.

From the moment he was known, Jace was full of life and spirit—his gentle kicks reminded his mom daily of his growing strength and playful soul. He loved to make his presence known, often as if he were already chasing soccer balls and asking for another pair of sneakers to run around in.

Jace is the cherished son of Veronica Morgan and Jeremiah Raymond, and the beloved little brother of Raylene and Aura Raymond. His family will forever carry him in their hearts, where his memory will continue to bring warmth, light, and love.

Though his stay was short, Jace’s impact will last a lifetime. He taught us about the power of love, the fragility of life, and the beauty of every moment we are given.

A private family service will be held to honor Jace’s life and the joy he brought into the world.

Rest peacefully, sweet baby Jace. You were—and always will be—deeply loved.
