Raymond Luis Caraballo Larson

Born May 12, 1989, in Kaiserslautern, Germany he was the son of MSG Luis N. Caraballo, USA, Retired and The Honorable Tina L. Caraballo, Orange County Judge. Seventeen short months ago, Raymond married the love of his life and fellow football fanatic, Morgan Douglass. They moved into their first home in April of this year and his four-legged son, Tucker, finally got his dream yard.

Raymond was a linebacker at University High School and graduated in 2007. He stayed local and completed his bachelor’s degree at the University of Central Florida remaining an avid/rabid Knight fan. On Saturday home games you would find Raymond, Morgan, his brothers and their friends tailgating at the usual location near parking garage I. There would always be something tasty on the grill and possibly a cut on one of those big lips from shot-gunning a beer or two! After that, he’d lose his voice cheering on the Knights. He loved traveling with the team and treasured seeing them secure the National Championship in the Peach Bowl in 2017 with Morgan at his side.

Football was Raymond’s passion and he had the privilege of coaching young men since the time he graduated from high school. He coached at University High School, The Masters Academy and Seminole High School. On the night of his passing, SHS won its final regular season game and the players honored him, expressing their love and appreciation for the impact he had on their lives and keeping them on the right path.

In addition to football Raymond loved to cook and dance. He was an adoring husband, a loving son, and devoted brother.

Raymond is survived by his wife Morgan Caraballo of Deltona, Florida, parents Luis and Tina Caraballo and brothers Joshua and Luis Caraballo all of Orlando, Florida.

A visitation is scheduled for Saturday November 10, 2018 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm at the Baldwin-Fairchild Oaklawn Chapel. A service to celebrate Raymond's life will immediately follow the visitation at 7:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to SHS Football Booster in memory of Coach Ray, 2701 Ridgewood Avenue, Sanford, FL 32773.
