Raymond Youtsey, Jr

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Raymond Leon Youtsey, Jr. Born on October 7, 1966, in Cleveland, Oklahoma, Raymond lived a life filled with hard work, love, laughter, and dedication to his family. He departed this life on July 25, 2023, leaving a void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Raymond resided in Yale, Oklahoma, where he worked diligently as a Roustabout in the oil field industry. His work ethic was unparalleled, and his commitment to his craft was admired by colleagues and friends alike. Outside of work, Raymond found joy in simple pleasures such as fishing and riding around in the country, activities that brought him peace and serenity. It was these quiet moments of reflection and appreciation for nature that showcased Raymond's softer side and his deep connection with the world around him. Raymond also enjoyed listening to his favorite Rock n Roll Band, Kiss, and cheering on the OU Sooners to a big win.

Raymond leaves behind his loving children; Kelsi Youtsey, Bryant Youtsey, Gracie Youtsey, and his girlfriend, Carol Rich as well as numerous nieces, nephews and grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents Raymond Sr. and Carol Ross, children, Shayne Youtsey, Donny Wyatt Youtsey, Rusty Leon Youtsey, Mollie Ann Youtsey, his sister, Ladonna Burke and brothers, Brian and Roger.

The graveside service will be held on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 10:00am CDT at Terlton Cemetery, 366450 E 5600 Rd, Terlton, Oklahoma. As William Penn once said, "Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still." Though we are separated by the veil of mortality, Raymond's spirit continues to live within each of us.

We invite you to share your memories of Raymond and to upload photos to his memorial page. In this way, we can all contribute to keeping Raymond's memory alive, remembering him as he was - a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a man of great integrity.
