Raymond McDonell Garner

Raymond Garner, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed on peacefully Friday Feb 2nd 2024. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, his 6 children, 18 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren.

Raymond was a man of resilience and determination, facing life's challenges with unwavering strength. Since his youth, he lived with the handicap of having only one usable eye, yet he never let this obstacle define him. Instead, he approached each day with perseverance and determination.

For many years, Raymond found solace and joy spending time with his wife at the beach. Whether they were walking along the shoreline or simply admiring the waves from afar, the sea held a special place in his heart, having a deep appreciation for nature's beauty.

In addition to his passion for spending time with his bride at the ocean, Raymond was a dedicated and hardworking individual for many years. He approached his work with diligence and integrity, earning the respect of his colleagues and peers. Raymond will be remembered for his kind nature always quick to lend a helping hand, touching the lives of family and friends.

As we mourn the loss of Raymond, we take comfort in the cherished memories we shared and the impact he had on our lives. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

A celebration of Raymond's life will be held at Miller Jones Mortuary in Hemet on March 8th, where family and friends will gather to honor his memory and share stories of his remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in Raymond's name.

Raymond Garner will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May he rest in peace, knowing that he was loved beyond measure and that his legacy will endure for generations to come.
