Raymond Kenneth Tetrault

Raymond Kenneth Tetrault, 68, of Kokomo completed his earthly race and found rest in the presence of Jesus on January 19, at home, after a brief battle with cancer. He was born June 7, 1957, in Syracuse, NY. In 1980, Ray married Robin Fonda in Baldwinsville, NY at the Wesleyan church where they met and served together.

He has pastored Grace Fellowship Church for over 25 years and has been serving as Men’s Chaplain at the Kokomo Rescue Mission. Ray was very involved in the running community, having served as president, vice president and chaplain of Club Kokomo Roadrunners. He launched Coyote Kids in 2004, a summer running program for kids of all ages, and the program still continues today. In recent years, he was a track and cross-country coach for Western Schools and a track coach for Kokomo Schools. He enjoyed working with his hands, remodeling homes, fixing cars and performing magic tricks for friends and family. He was a pizza connoisseur and had perfected his dough recipe over the years, making “Ray’s Pizza” a favorite meal for all who tried it.

Ray was a follower of Jesus and a true student of the Bible. He loved serving others with the grace and patience he so often preached about. He was the epitome of a good and faithful servant, who lovingly accepted and welcomed people from all walks and backgrounds.

Ray attended high school in Baldwinsville, NY and graduated from Seminary of the East with a Master of Divinity.

He is survived by his loving wife, Robin, of Kokomo, and their six children: Michelle (Jonathan) Tyson, Melissa (Jon) Polk, Michael (Autumn) Tetrault, Megan (Ian) McKay, Matthew (Tiffany) Tetrault, Melinda Hall, and their fifteen grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Rick Tetrault and Roger Tetrault and his sisters, Tish Evans and Tami Magnus. He was preceded in death by his father, Harold Tetrault and stepmother Marion Tetrault, and his mother Doris Brink and stepfather Carl Brink.

Calling hours will be held at Grace Fellowship Church, 2700 S. Park Rd. Kokomo, IN on Friday January 30 from 12-3pm and 5-7pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to Grace Fellowship Church.
