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.

    Ray,

    I got to know you while I was at Fox Racing in 2006. Sat right across from you. You were know as the Rasta Man / Predator the movie & the look-alike hair cut you had, your long dread locks !!! It was cool to hear your Rasta Music all day & have those long conversations about many things in life! The last time we spoke or saw one another was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for MotoGP!!! Seems like such a dream now. I know you’re in a better place & one day we’ll meet again. Take care my tall giant friend!!! Until the next episode…

    Where do I start? Ray was the best boss I could have ever asked for or imagined having, he taught me so much. I will miss hearing you talk about the books we should read and the after hour group talks we’d have about religion and the world on Friday night, I was fascinated and learned so much. I will miss the good music and the Monday morning “funnies” in my e-mail. My heart goes out to the family of this amazing human being, he lit up the room when he walked in and shared the warmth with his smile.
