With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden, accidental death of our husband, brother, father, grandfather, and friend. Raymond is the firstborn son of Clinton and Merle Kartchner. He took that responsibility seriously and always strived to be a good son, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He graduated from Granite High. He graduated with honors from the University of Utah and received his Masters Degree from the University of Washington.
Ray married his high school sweetheart, Lola Hansen, in 1959. Together, they welcomed six children to their family: Kelly, Todd, Kristen, Angela, Christopher, and Ryan. He leaves behind their partners, eleven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. They are his finest legacy and joy. He will always love them. We will always love him.
Throughout his life, he taught at many different schools and touched thousands of lives. He loved playing the piano and making beautiful things in his workshop. He loved to travel and he loved to talk! We remember fondly his wit, wisdom, kindness, and compassion. Keep the flowers and throw the weeds away. Those who are fortunate to have known him, loved him and been loved by him are indeed lucky. Although he wasn't ready to leave us, we hope there is a grand reunion in Heaven. God be with you until we meet again.
We will celebrate his life on Monday, December 16, 2019 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley Mortuary, 1007 West South Jordan Parkway (10600 South), South Jordan.
Interment will be held on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in the Mountain View Memorial Estates Cemetery.
We invite you to join us and share in our joy and sorrow.
