Raymond... it has been more than a few years since we have crossed paths but I'll always remember the fun we had in high school hanging out at our houses, meeting your little brothers that are now men, how you would pester my older sister (which I thought was hilarious), that face you always made where you would raise an eyebrow, close one eye slightly more than the other and tilt your head as you tried your best to hold back a funny comment...  

You are way too young to exit this Earth.  I hope your family is able to find peace.  You always found a way to make things a little lighter, which now that I'm older, I appreciate more than I did before.   Rest in peace, my friend.

Ray (Junior) was always fun to be around and knew how to make you laugh.  Even though our families lives on opposite sides of the country, whenever we got together, it was like we were the closest of cousins. I will miss those times, but will look fondly back on all the memories of all the trips and visits over the years.

HE LIVED A SHORT LIFE , LIVE IT TO THE FULLNESS AND LEFT  US WITH MANY WONDERFUL  MEMORIES.  

SAD NOT TO HAVE HIM AROUND BUT WHEN WE SEE HIM AGAIN HE WILL SHOW US HOW TO REALLY LIVE.   HE HAD A GOOD LIFE , ON HIS OWE TERMS.   

THAT IS WHAT RAYMOND JR. DID!! 

Ray and I always had a passion for cars.  This was the day I helped him find an STi.  He loved that car.  We shared a lot of good times, and I’m grateful I had good friend like him in my life.  He will surely be missed.

For the past 15 years, Ray has been a friend I could always count on. A friend you can trust or call anytime you need help is hard to find. I will miss his laughter and sense of humor so much.

 We had a lot of good times like when we saw Snoop Dog at a Lakers game and Ray was not shy to run up and get a picture with him.

 He was taken from this earth too soon and is already missed by so many people.  Rest In Peace Ray. Love you always. 

I always admired your ability to not care what other people thought and to take chances in life. I wish that you had more time with your nieces and nephew. Your brother and I will make sure Camden and Kyla will never forget their Uncle Junior. 

Before our immediate family grew to 6, it was just you and me growing up together.  Words cannot express the pain I feel without you here.  Even though you were my younger brother, you were more courageous, independent, and influential than I could ever be.  Your fun loving, fearless attitude made you the person that people were drawn to like a magnet.  Then your generous heart was the icing on the cake.  I’m trying to find comfort in knowing that you are with Gning Gning, Yeah Yeah, Pwa Pwa and Gong Gong now.  You were a protector for our nation and I know you will continue to look over us from heaven as our guardian angel.  I am fortunate to have had you in my life Jr.  Love and miss you always from your favorite sister ❤️

There were 14 of us cousins growing up. We saw each other all the time. Every month there was a birthday or a holiday to celebrate. No matter what it was, we were always together. For us, cousins = siblings. When we were all kids, I remember us hanging out at my grandparents' summer house - fishing, going out on Gong-Gong's boats, or just sitting inside doing absolutely nothing. I never got to spend a lot of time with Jr. but the time I did have I'll always treasure. The last time I really remember getting to talk to him was at our wedding in 2011. I was so happy that he was able to make it - family is everything. We'll miss you dearly. ❤️

Ray. Raymond. Joonya. Superman. No matter what I called you, there was never a time that you didn’t answer. You were always there for me. When we were fighting about something dumb and yelling at each other....you were always louder. Nothing you did was half way. I learned to expect the unexpected whenever you were around. There are too many things about you that I’ll miss, but I know you’ll always be around. Thank you for being such a good friend.  I love you. 

When I think back to my childhood, my fondest memories are of spending weekends with the Yee family.  My sisters and I grew up with Marleen and Jr.  I remember he played his role of little brother well.  Jr. had a great sense of humor and made us all laugh.  My heart goes out to the entire family.  He was a brave, thoughtful and loving guy.  He will be dearly missed.

Ray..Every time.I saw you.We always had fun.No matter what.Preakness that year was the best.Rest easy my friend. Rest easy !!

Through good times and bad, you were always there when i needed you. You won't be forgotten. Love you.

Raymond was a brother and a friend to me. I will never forget his contagious smile and his kind personality. He sure made my Marine Corps life more enjoyable. I will miss him. 

My good friend Raymond Lee was an amazing frriend, always called to see how i was doing when i moved to New Mexico. Humorous, courageous,  strong and a good soul. I will never forget our last conversation on the phone. He will be missed by so many loved ones. I send my condolences to his Family and other loved ones. Much love to you Raymond , you w mill always be in my heart. RIP my strong friend 🌠👼✌🌌

I worked with Ray at Bally Total Fitness over 18 years ago ...I loved his contagious laugh, sense of humor and energy. He also had a big heart.  I remember him coming by my house with 2 pitbull puppies that he saved from a house fire.  We always had a blast together.  I am going to miss him deeply.



My journey with Ray began at 6th grade camp where we became instant friends. There was never a time since then that Ray has not been there for me. He made every experience better with his quick wit and bigger than life personality. I too, consider Ray family...  they say you can’t choose family but I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity with Ray. While I will miss him, I know Ray will always be with me. He knows no other way. We love you Ray!  Keep shining bright my brother. Until we meet again!

Ray was there when our Dad couldn’t be.

Friendship isn’t about whom you’ve known the longest... it’s about who came and never left your side.  Ray became part of our family and he will be dearly missed. We love you Ray

I’ll always love and miss you little brother.   

It was always going to be an adventure and Ray was always going to be there for you if you needed him.  Ray was more than a friend; he was part of the family.  we may go months without talking and then pick up a conversation like I had seen him the day before.  Ray was unpredictable In a way that kept life interesting.  I will truly miss him 

Jr. followed his own path in life, but he never forgot his family.  He was always here for his grandparents when they needed him.  If he thought there was any way he could help you out - buying a new car, getting a good deal on a fish tank - he'd tell you.  We'll miss the goofy kid who used to say - I don't understand what my Grandma is saying - she's speaking Spanish!
