Raul Garrido Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Haven of Rest Funeral Home, Cemetery, Crematory - Gig Harbor on Feb. 10, 2026.
It is with a mix of sadness and celebration of a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Raul Damien Garrido, who slipped away peacefully on January 15, 2026. Born on March 13, 1930, in Los Angeles, CA, Raul was a spirited soul who brought joy and laughter to all who knew him. He was smart and thoughtful, with a dedication to his work, his family, and his community that was unparalleled. His lively spirit and unwavering commitment to those he loved will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Raul moved to Tumwater, Washington, 13 years ago, where his dedication and thoughtfulness were felt by all who had the privilege of crossing his path. His career as a Project Manager in the technology sector demonstrated his smart and strategic mind, and he was highly respected by his colleagues and clients alike. Raul's dedication to his work was only surpassed by his commitment to his family. As a loving husband to Lynette Garrido, Raul was always there to lend a helping hand, share a joke, or offer a comforting word. His love for Lynette was a testament to his kind and compassionate nature.

Raul is survived by his devoted wife, Lynette Garrido. He was preceded in death by his father, Raul Garrido, and his mother, Guadalupe Garrido. His legacy will continue through the love and memories he left behind. As the famed author Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Raul's spirited nature, thoughtful actions, and dedicated heart will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him.

We encourage friends and family to visit Raul Garrido's memorial page to share memories and upload photos of Raul. Each story and picture will help keep his spirit alive and serve as a reminder of the extraordinary life he lived.
