It is with a heavy heart that our family announces the passing of my father Raymond Celaya, on September 30, 2025. My Dad was not only an amazing father, brother, friend, but one of the best Grandfather's anyone can ask for. Loved by all his family and friends, he touched many lives with his compassion and kindness. His out-going and humorous personality, could light up a room.

He proudly served in the United States Army. His military service was an integral part of his life, shaping the strong, compassionate person we knew and loved. His commitment to his country and the friendships he made along the way remained with him throughout his life.

We were unprepared for the high cost of not only the medical bills, but his memorial and funeral services. As many of you may know my Mother is also ill. and my Dad was the only source of income.

My Brother and I want to give him the farewell he deserves, and we are reaching out for support to cover expenses not only for his hospital stay, but for his funeral, as well.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help us immensely during this difficult time. We are so grateful for your love and support. Thank you for helping us honor my father Raymond Celaya's memory.
