Life story

Raymond Louis Massey II, age 36, of Niles, moved to Heaven Monday, March 14, 2022, in the comfort of his family’s presence.

His life began June 8, 1985 in Gary, Indiana, the oldest of four children born to Raymond and Venita Massey. He grew up in and was dedicated to Cassopolis, Michigan. He married Tricia Lynn Samys February 5, 2011 in Niles, Michigan.

Raymond gave his life to the Lord at an early age and had plans to attend Charis Bible College in the fall of 2022. He just enjoyed life. His smile and robust laugh lit up whatever room he was in.

Raymond was a wonderful husband and an amazing and present father. He sang in the choir at church and declared himself to be the best tenor. Raymond dearly loved and was thankful for his opportunity to serve along side his colleagues at EDUStaff.

Raymond will be greatly missed by family and friends. He is survived by his wife, Tricia Massey; four children, Olivia Massey, Raymond Massey III, Morris Massey, and Adrin Massey; his parents, Raymond and Venita Massey; three siblings, Elyse (Marvin) Henderson, Justin Massey, and Desirae (Bretho) Danzy; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
