Raymond was born on October 28, 1959 to M.D. and Carolyn Hood in Pampa, Texas. He attended school at Pampa High School before attending TSTI Amarillo and later Transport Refrigeration. He worked for Ingersol Rand, Great Wide Transportation, and TDCJ in Maintenance H/VAC. Raymond was also a Jack of all trades and recently had started making horse shoe art. He enjoyed water skiing, hunting, riding ATV’s and side by sides, and playing in the mud with his RZR. Raymond was very kind, never met a stranger and was always cutting up with everyone, joking with people and loved to dress up and scare everyone around Halloween, his favorite holiday. Raymond always had to have his Mashed Potato Cake and Pineapple Pie for all his birthdays and at Thanksgiving and Christmas. He was a loving and caring man that was always willing to help out a person in need. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
