James Raymond

James Robert Raymond “Jim” passed away on January 30, 2022 at his home in Cedar City, Utah. He was born on November 30, 1955 in Reno, Nevada to Eugene Joseph and Winona Jean Brewer Raymond. He graduated from El Molino High School and from Santa Rosa California Junior College. He married Juanita Rae Langmaid Douglas on May 18, 1996 in Bend, Oregon.

Jim served with the Sonoma California Police Department and the State of Oregon Police Department. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and enjoyed traveling and fishing.

But Jim’s favorite job, and most important in his life, was the 15 years spent as a uniformed police officer for the Sonoma California Police Department and the next 20 years working with the Oregon State police, Law Enforcement Data System. While working at LEDS, he also had to undergo Kidney dialysis while working full time. “Once a cop-always a cop.” He loved it.

His sister Norma Simnick of Santa Rosa, California, brother-in-law William (Lisa) Langmaid of Yreka, California. Along with 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
