Obituary
Raymond Anton McQueen, aged 49, was killed on Wednesday morning as he rode to work on his motorcycle. Raymond’s greatest legacy was the family whom he left behind: Ramar, age 22, Jahmal, age 19, Karessa, age 17, Tarae, age 12, Elijah, age 10 and his wife Tami. Raymond is survived by his father, Lloyd McQueen of Jamaica, two brothers and seven sisters. He and his family have lived in Mission Viejo for the past eight years.
Raymond was born and raised in Jamaica and came to the United States when he was 18 years old where he served in the US Army for four years. He never abandoned his ties to Jamaica and was well known for his tall stature and knee-length locks. He was a beautiful man who embraced his life motto of ‘One Love.’ His passion was always towards the ‘underdogs’, those who were treated unfairly and who were hurting.
Being gifted with an artistic nature from the time he was a small boy in Jamaica, he loved to design furniture and clothing, draw and drum. He brought his talents with him to the garment industry where he worked for the past 25 years. In recent years he spent much of his free time working on and riding his motorcycles.
Services to celebrate Raymond’s life will be held on Friday, October 9th, at 10:00am at the Laguna Hills Community Center, 25555 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills. There will be a viewing on Thursday, October 8th, 7:00pm-9:00pm at O’Connor Mortuary, 25301 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills.

I never met Ray, but i work with his younger brother Lloyd at Robofit. I am sure he was a wonderful man just like his brother i know. My deepest sympathy goes to his wife, kids, parents, brothers, sisters and the whole family. I hope all of you find peace and strength during this difficult time. Lloyd, i am by your side when you need me. RIP Ray of Light.

Blessed “Raymond McQueen” One Love
REST IN PEACE
Each and every day for the last past year at Alpinestars Ray and I express GREETINGS for we knew hel is low, we gave THANKS for the BLESSINGS of ONE LOVE, we shared wise counsel in order to OVERSTAND not to UNDERSTAND, and we never said goodbye in order to say I WILL SEE NEXT TIME… Ray and I spent much of our time talking about what we valued the most, our FAMILY our CHILDREN. Ray VALUED his sons for he knew they are QUALITY young men, Ray adored his daughter for she is his PRINCESS. We have daughters the same age so we had many wise counsel of our girls.SMILESIt was always encouraging. When ever we talked of our better halves, and with his sunshine smile he will say “Tami, THATS MY QUEEN”…YA MAN… I will keep Ray alive with the way I think, with the words I speak, and the way I live. NO WORRIES, PEACE, AND LOVE.
Until we meet again, JOURNEY WELL my BROTHER, MENTOR, AND FRIEND. MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU AND FAMILY…
YOU WILL BE FOREVER LOVED…
Jeremy and Denise Bobadilla at Alpinestars. Ya man…
