Raymond Cellucci Obituary
Born on December 21, 1966 in Manhasset, New York, Ray was the son of Marilyn (Hebel) Cellucci and Raymond Mario Cellucci, Sr. On November 3, 2001, he married the love of his life, Jennifer Nancy Brink, at First Congregational Church in Des Plaines. Together they built a beautiful life and were blessed with two wonderful sons, Daniel and Ryan.
Ray was a graduate of Lake Forest College, where he studied Business. His passion for learning led him to a successful career in Information Technology, where he was entirely self-taught. He had a deep love for technology and all things digital. Beyond his professional life, Ray was an avid sports fan, especially devoted to the Denver Broncos. He also had a passion for reading, cars, traveling, and - most importantly - spending cherished time with his family.
Ray is survived by his loving wife, Jenny; his sons, Daniel and Ryan; his parents, Ray and Marilyn; his brother, Mike (Katy) Cellucci; and his sister, Allison (Brian) Elmore. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

We want to express our deepest sorrow to the family on the passing of our nephew, Raymond. Our deepest sympathy to Jenny, Daniel and Ryan with heartfelt sympathy to his parents, Marilyn and Ray.
We remember Raymond from his childhood in New York. After graduating college, he returned to New York with the intention to reside there again. During his brief stay, we did manage to get together with him. We attended his wedding to Jenny in 2001, after which we did get to see them and their children numerous times during their visits to Colorado Springs through 2012.
It was upsetting to hear when he was diagnosed and we feel sorry for all he had to endure. Raymond is now at peace and we want you to know that we will always carry fondest memories of him.
Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Johanna

I worked with Ray-Ray as he was known, at TWA in Colorado Springs. He was a fun guy, resilient and always up for a challenge. He will be missed by all who knew him.
