He is survived by his children, Duncan Faircloth, Tammy Donnel and Richard Faircloth; sisters Florence Maggard and Diane Thomas; brothers Clifford and Ernest Faircloth Sr; numerous grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins - way too many to name.

Raymond spent most of his lifetime in the El Dorado area and worked in the logging industry. Raymond had many passions including old western movies, country music, spending long hours reading and enjoying a cold beer watching pro wrestling. He was a kind hearted man that enjoyed a simple lifestyle and was very proud of his Miwok Native American Heritage and loved spending time at his family property, the "Homeplace".

Over the last several years of Raymond's life he resided with his nephew, Rodney Durrett, and his children RJ and Sissy. After moving to Swansboro, Raymond quickly grew to love sitting on the porch watching the animals and reading a book. He enjoyed living out the final years of his life with Rodney and helping him raise his kids.
