Raymond Alfred Jimenez
August 27th, 1933 - January 28th, 2025
Raymond Alfred Jimenez, a life-long Carpinterian, passed away at home on January 28, 2025 at the age of 91.
Born August 27, 1933 to Raymond and Nellie Jimenez, he grew up in Carpinteria attending local schools.
He married his high school sweetheart, Mary Gonzales, in 1956 and together they had a son, Larry. Both his wife and son preceded him in death.
Raymond enlisted in the United States Marine Corp., serving his country from July, 1955 – July, 1961 and received the Good Conduct Medal upon discharge.
He served his community as a Field Superintendent with the Carpinteria Valley Water District for 34 years, retiring in 1998.
Upon retiring, being a man of many talents and interests, he was very active and enjoyed restoring and showing vintage vehicles; long distance biking; and traveling. As a sports fan he enjoyed watching professional games, was a big Rams fan and a true blue Dodger fan. He also enjoyed walks on the beach and visiting Indian casinos .
A man with a big heart and a big smile, he most enjoyed being with people. Whether it was spending time with family getting together for good food and margaritas; or on a group bus trip to Vegas; or meeting his buddies downtown for coffee each morning.
Raymond was preceded in death by his parents; brothers William, Ernest and Frederick Jimenez; sisters Dorothy Dominguez and Rae Jimenez. He is survived by sisters Mary Ellen Rios, Ramona Cruz, Marjorie Luera, Tillie Donnelly and Nellie Galvez. Also Daughter-in-law Denise Jimenez and Brother-in-law Joseph Galvez, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
