Raymundo is a beloved son and brother. He was strong-willed, very outgoing, loving and caring. He would be very happy to have people around him and, most especially, he would always have a smile on his face. He was always willing to help anyone in need, even though he didn’t have much.

Raymundo always made sure his mom was OK; he will always watch over her from heaven! He also loved to dance, sing and spend time with his family and friends. Raymundo was also anxiously awaiting the arrival of his soon-to-be nephew. Most of all, he loved reading Gods word and spending time with the Lord.

He will be greatly missed by all who loved and cared for him. There will never be a day we won’t think of him and miss him greatly.

Pallbearers will be Mateo Jaquez, Marcus Sanchez, Gabriel Franco, Jeremiah Saiz, Rudy Silva, Dominick Barela, Alex Silva, Raymond Saiz and Julian Robles. Honorary pallbearers are Isaac Franco, Joshua Robles and Sandra Sanchez.
