Raymond Sumpter was a devoted father to four beautiful children: Esperanza, Annabella, Raymond Junior (Bubba), and Ruby. He was the kind of dad who made every moment special, whether it was taking the kids to skate night, playing softball, shooting hoops in the front yard, or hosting family cookouts. Raymond was well known for his infectious laughter, his endless supply of bad dad jokes, and his spontaneous singing and dancing that always brought smiles to those around him.

Despite his struggles, Raymond never let it define who he was. He remained dedicated to loving his children and being present in their lives. His battle was long and difficult but it never took away his spirit or the love he had for his family, his loss has left us heartbroken and unprepared.

We are reaching out for help to give Raymond the farewell he deserves. All funds raised will go toward covering the costs of his cremation and a viewing, allowing his loved ones to say goodbye. Anything left over will be used to support his children as they navigate this difficult time. We would be deeply grateful for any support you can offer—your kindness will help us honor Raymond’s memory and care for the children he loved so much.
