Raymond was known for his country charm and his unwavering love for his family. He found joy in the little things - from tinkering around with various projects to spending serene days fishing at the lake or hunting deer. His green thumb was evident in the time he happily spent nurturing his vegetable garden, "especially his peppers".

Raymond dedicated over 25 years of his life to working for the City of Dallas in the Parks and Recreation Department. His hard work and passion for serving the community left a lasting impact on those around him.

Their spirits now reunite with him in eternal peace.

Raymond leaves behind cherished memories with his surviving family members and friends. His daughter Sherry Fleetwood and husband Robert will forever hold him close to their hearts. His brother Jerry Don Reschke will carry on Raymond's legacy with pride.
