A native of Buncombe Co., Raymond was a son of Ellen Pike and of the late Don Anderson, and his late step-father, Elbert "Corky" Pike. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Laurie Fraser; sister, Donna Anderson; and brother, Doug Pike.
He worked so hard to provide for his family. He worked for years in textiles for Burlington and Champion companies. Then he devoted his time to working at Blue Ridge Group Homes (Blue West). He was also a member of Freedom Christian Church.
He is survived by his children, Kelsey Anderson, Greg Anderson, Ricky Anderson, Kristin Anderson, Brian Fraser, and Michelle Reiman; he was a proud grandfather of 7 grandchildren, Lincoln, Greyson, Alex, Gabe, Gabriela, Bailey and Lindsey; sister, Jessica James; brothers, Tim Anderson and Chris Pike; special aunt, Martha Crowder Cooper; and many more family members and friends who Ray loved dearly. Family was the most important thing to him.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 20 at Freedom Christian Church in Marshall.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the funeral home to assist with expenses.
