Raymone Lamarr Calhoun Jr.

Raymone Lamarr Calhoun, Jr. graced this world on July 26, 1988 in Cleveland, Ohio.  He was born to Vanessa Mitchell and Raymone Calhoun, Sr. as the oldest of three children. He attended Collinwood High School. In 2007, Raymone relocated to El Paso, Texas to start a new life. There, he met the love of his life, Lisa Lara and was a loving husband and father of three children. Raymone worked in outbound sales for Alorica, a third-party company for Direct TV.  Recently, he decided to return to school and attend the Academy of Real Estate in El Paso.

Raymone loved life and laughter. He was rooted in his family and cherished being around his friends. Raymone was mechanically inclined and could look at something that needed to be assembled or fixed, and almost intuitively understand how to do it quickly and with ease. As a free-spirit, Raymone enjoyed riding motorcycles and had an avid interest in fast cars. He had a fun sense of humor and an outgoing personality that was even-tempered and very considerate of others. Even in his passing, Raymone continued to contribute to the lives of others as an organ donor. He will be greatly missed, but will live on in our hearts and memories forever.

Raymone is survived by his mother Vanessa Mitchell; his father, Raymone Calhoun, Sr.; wife, Lisa Lara; children, Victor, Alejandro and Crystal; mother-n-law, Maria Lara; brothers Tony Calhoun and Eric Thompson; great-aunts Lillian Henderson and Francis Underwood; aunts Melissa Banks (Phillip, Sr.), Patricia Mitchell Mason (Darryl), Ann Carty, Vivian Whitfield; an uncle, Eric Whitfield, Sr.; first cousins Donald Carty, Tashara Banks Williams (Christopher); Tshombe Mitchell, Aundrea Banks, Aisha Mitchell, Merranda Mason, Shawndrea Brown (Christopher), Tanique Banks, Phillip Banks, Jr., Eric Whitfield, Jr., Jade Whitfield, Donovan Whitfield and Erica Whitfield; niece Jezzebel Thompson and nephew Eziah Thompson, along with a host of  other cousins, friends and love ones. Raymone is preceded in death by his infant son, Evieray and loving grandmother Bobbie Jean Whitfield.  In honor of the family’s request, Raymone will be laid to rest in Cleveland, Ohio, near his grandmother, Bobbie Jean.
