Raymond Nolan, a devoted husband, father, and community member, passed away peacefully in Tolleson, Arizona on August 6, 2025, just days shy of his 69th birthday. Born on August 9, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois, Raymond lived a life that was rich in experiences and marked by his exceptional work ethic and passion for the activities he loved.

Raymond's interests extended far beyond his career. He had a deep appreciation for Mexican food and enjoyed the sounds of Classic Rock. An avid outdoorsman, he could often be found fishing, golfing, or camping, activities that brought him joy and relaxation.

He is also lovingly remembered by his brothers Ronnie and Brian, and his sisters Barbra and Elizabeth. He took immense pride in being a grandfather to five grandchildren, who were a source of great joy and fulfillment in his life.

He was preceded in death by his father, David Nolan, and his brother, David Jr. Raymond's absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew him, as his warmth, dedication, and adventurous spirit enriched the lives of his family and friends.
