Thomas Eldred Obituary

Published by Legacy on May 19, 2025.
RAYMOND ELDRED, age 59, of Horn Lake MS, passed away Sunday morning, May 11,2025, at his residence.
Raymond was preceded in death by his father Thomas Eldred, his Grandmothers Earlene Linton and Nancy McRae, his Grandfathers Jeffrey
Linton and Jamie McRae, his aunts Peggy Yeilding, Jonie Chalmers and Genie Eldred and his uncle Benny Eldred.
Raymond survives his mother Patsy Eldred and his brother Jeff Eldred and Melissa Dalehite, his stepson Brian Roads and his stepdaughter Andrea Nolan.
Raymond graduated from Horn Lake High School with a scholarship to attend Northwest College. He worked in construction most of his life with his cousins Curtis Linton, Scott Linton and his Uncle Dean Linton. Raymond had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, with a young-at-hear quality, leaving a lasting impact on all around him. Although Raymonds' physical presence may no longer grace our lives, his spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May his memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth his legacy of love and compassion in all that we do.
Raymonds final resting place will be by his father at the Forest Hill South Cemetery. The graveside service will be Wednesday May 21,2025 at
10:00am.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Raymond and the Eldred family.
