With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Herbert Ray Demoney, a man of unwavering strength, deep kindness, and a cowboy spirit that never faded. He passed away peacefully on March 16, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones.
Herb was a devoted husband, a loving Dad, a proud Grandpa and Great Grand-dad (Papa). He lived his life with honor, integrity, and a quiet strength that touched everyone who knew him. A dedicated soldier, retiring from the US Navy, he bravely served his country as part of the VO-67 Ghost Squadron in Vietnam, earning recognition as a decorated veteran. His sense of duty and sacrifice never wavered, and he carried the discipline and pride of a soldier throughout his life.
But beyond his military service, Herb was a true cowboy—rugged, hardworking, and always true to his word. He had an adventurous spirit and a deep love for the outdoors. He found joy in traveling, exploring new places, fishing, boating, horses and his favorite, hunting in the mountains of Colorado. Herb felt most at home in the great outdoors. He also had a passion for Cajun culture, filling his home with the lively sounds of Cajun music and the rich flavors of good Cajun cooking. He believed food was meant to be shared, just like laughter and good times.
Herb was a devoted family man who cherished his loved ones. He leaves behind his son Michael Demoney (Debbie McGinley), daughters Colleen Perry (James Perry), Barbara Lucas, and Michelle Peterson (Mitch Peterson). He was a proud grandfather to Michael, Robert, Chris, Justin, Kole, Tony, Nick, Ashley, Katelyn, Rachel, and many great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Norma Demoney; his parents, Raymond and Hazel Demoney; his brothers, Stanley, Walter and Kenneth Demoney; and his sisters, Fern Chriswisser, Helen Lemieux and Shirley Montgomery.
Herbert Ray Demoney will be laid to rest with full military honors at Fort Logan National Cemetery on June 20, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.
A soldier and a cowboy to the very end, Herb’s legacy of love, loyalty, and resilience will forever ride on in the hearts of those who knew him.
Ride high, cowboy. Your trail here may have ended, but your hard charging spirit rides on.
