Raymond Andrew Brand, 62, of Allegan, MI passed away Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at his home surrounded by family. Born May 10, 1958 in Wayne, MI, he was the son of the late Rosual Andrew and Josephine Irene (Kuhl) Brand and was the husband of Laurie (Sprague) Brand. Raymond was a dedicated, hardworking man. He loved to spend time outdoors, especially fishing, when he was not at work. He also liked to spend time at the casino and watching NASCAR races. Raymond was very adventurous and enjoyed traveling. Oftentimes he did not know where he wanted to go, so he flipped a coin and hit the road. Raymond loved to make other people laugh and was known as a bit of a jokester. He was always quick to befriend new people and he never met a stranger. Raymond lived life out loud. Above all else, he found his greatest joy when he was spending time with his family. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of his life. In addition to his wife, Laurie, Raymond is survived by his children, Mike (Lacie) Moreau, Daniel Jacobusse (Claire Hoeberling), Rose Hinmon and Raymond (Jennifer) Brand, II; siblings, Dorothy Brand-Matthews, Joann (Wayne) Carpenter, William (Carol) Brand and Thomas (Martha) Brand; eleven grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
