Jay Raynor Obituary

Jay Wood Raynor, 67, passed away on September 27, 2024, in Turlock, California after a long illness. Born on May 10, 1957, Jay was known for his love for photography and his deep connection with the ocean and nature, which provided him with peace and serenity throughout his life. Jay dedicated over 45 years of his life as a mill operator at Associated Feed in Turlock, where he was known for his hard work and commitment.

He is survived by his daughters, Leslie Raynor (Justin) and Laura Raynor Ferguson (Chris); three grandchildren; and his sister, Phyllis Christian (Tim and Patrick). Jay was preceded in death by his mother, Karleen Raynor; father, Quentin Raynor; and brother, Paul Curran.

In keeping with his wishes, a private gathering for the spreading of his ashes will be held at his favorite place by the ocean, allowing family to honor his memory in a location that brought him great joy and tranquility. Jay's legacy will live on through the images he captured and the memories of those who knew and loved him.
