Raymond Hesson Jr Obituary
Born May 8, 1971 to the late Frances Ann Shryock-Hesson and late Raymond David Hesson Sr, Ray was a loyal and caring brother to Benjamin (Diane) and Michael (Mary). He was also a loving uncle to Zachary, Ryleigh, Lindsay, Michael Jr, Megan, Madelyn, and Martin. He also had many aunts and uncles, and dozens of cousins. He will be sorely missed by all.
Ray was an exceptional musician and singer. He also had a unique talent that enabled him to be able to impersonate almost anyone. He enjoyed biking, movies, and spending time with his family and his long-time girlfriend, Lucrecia Egusquiza.
Ray grew up in Bowie, MD and attended Largo and Arundel High School. He graduated from The University of Maryland University College. Ray was kind, charismatic, funny and smart. He was very generous and did whatever he could for those in his life.
A service to honor and celebrate Ray's life will be held on July 27, 2024, at Beall Funeral Home in Bowie, MD from 2-4PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association.

I am very sorry to read today about Ray Jr's passing. He was such a kind, handsome, young spirited, and talented young man, just like his father who was my dearest friend. It saddens my heart to find of his passing. Much love to his family.

Ray was an amazing person who brought light to this world through his music and his humor. He helped so many people without even realizing. The world will be a darker place without his light. My deepest sympathies & prayers go out to Ben, Mike and the entire family during this unforeseen tragedy.

Ray was my son's best friend growing up. He spent a lot of time at our house and quickly became part of our family. He was at every birthday party, New Years Eve parties, outdoor summer parties, and just liked to hang out. He was in my Cub Scout Troop, his father the Scout leader and I the Den mother. He was such a funny kid, always making me laugh, which carried over to his adult life. Many nights he and the 'gang' would sing their favorite songs, I especially remember Bohemian Rhapsody, I'll never forget that rendition! I wish I had recorded that! They all thought it was funny, I thought it was really good! He was the kid who always had a smile on his face, and he always remembered to play my song for me when at Allen Pond! Ray will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP Ray Ray

Ray was my childhood best friend, I lived about 4 houses down from Ray, Mike, and Ben on Powell lane in Bowie, I played guitar with the brothers in the band Lost Cause in are late teens early 20´s my first memory of Rays musical talent was in 2nd or 3rd grade at Tall Oakes Elementary, it was lunch, the cafeteria was full of kids, there was a piano on stage and Ray I believe asked if he could play a song, he proceeded to play boogie woogie, there was silence as he played the song, it was amazing! he finished and the place erupted in applause and cheer and I was like "that´s my friend, I know him" he was so gifted

We were in Glen Burnie one night hanging out and he did the best impersonation of Jim Ignatowski "What does a yellow light mean". I wish I had my video camera that night. RIP Ray Ray.
