Honoring Raymond Valerio Jr.: A Lionhearted Legacy of Faith, Family, and Love
Raymond Valerio Jr. has lived every moment with the heart of a lion—fierce in his love, bold in his faith, and relentless in his commitment to his family. For years, he has fought through overwhelming health battles, not with complaint, but with courage, dignity, and an unshakable belief in God’s purpose.
Ray has always been more than a husband, father, brother, and friend. He is a pillar. A protector. A man who has poured every ounce of himself into creating a life rooted in love—for his beloved wife Ingrid, and for their sons, Ray and Elias. Every choice he made, every battle he fought, was with them in his heart. His family is his heartbeat.
Even in pain, he served. Even in suffering, he stood tall. With the soul of a warrior and the tenderness of a shepherd, he has carried those around him through their own storms—never letting go of his deep faith in God and his unwavering devotion to those he loves.
Now, as Ray stands at a sacred threshold in his journey, we have the chance to surround him with the same love, strength, and faith he’s always given us. This GoFundMe is a tribute. A gesture of gratitude. A way to offer support to his family and to help carry the weight in a moment when words are not enough.
If Raymond has ever touched your life with his laughter, his loyalty, his courage, or his heart—this is the moment to honor him. To show up. To give, to pray, to share, and to love.
All funds raised will go directly to supporting Ingrid, Ray, and Elias as they navigate this chapter with grace, care, and the same lionhearted spirit that Ray has always lived by.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us lift up this extraordinary man. May your love return to you a hundredfold.
With love,
