Raymond was born in Ravenna, Ohio on September 6, 1951 to parents Sterling and Louise (Stambaugh) Brooks.
Raymond attained an associate’s degree in food service and was a chef at Turners Mill in Hudson and retired from Kent State University after 12 years of service in the department of food service.
In his spare time, he enjoyed working on cars and riding his Harley with his friends in the “Mauve Gang”. Raymond was a big dog lover and is reuniting with his furry companions of the past, Mason, Gem and Dillon. Most of all, Raymond was a loving husband, father and grandfather and enjoyed spending time with and loved his family the most.
He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Bernadette and his children Shaun (Amanda) Brooks and Michael (Patricia) Brooks. His beloved grandchildren Kayla & Tyler Brooks and Johnathan Geib and Brayden Brooks also survive him.
Raymond leaves behind to cherish his memory his brother Robert Brooks, sister Suzanne Brooks and loving nieces and nephews.
Raymond was preceded in death by his parents.
Raymonds family expresses their sincere gratitude to everyone at Traditions Health Hospice who took such great, compassionate care of him and our family.
