Raymond was born August 20, 1969, in Allegan to Richard Hitchcock Sr. and Lillian (Christman) Hitchcock.

Raymond had a deep love for the outdoors and found great joy in sharing that passion with his children. He especially enjoyed camping, boating, snowmobiling, hunting, and fishing, creating lasting memories with his family. Passing down his appreciation for nature meant a great deal to him, and it brought him immense happiness to see his children embrace those same experiences.

He is survived by his parents, Richard and Lillian Hitchcock; his children, BrookAnn (Matthew) Holly, Levi Hitchcock, and Beau Hitchcock; and his siblings, Candy Hitchcock, Carol (Jay) Agy, and Richard (Diane) Hitchcock Jr., and many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Raymond is proceeded in death by his grandparents, La Verne and Ruth Hitchcock and Leroy and Janice Christman.

Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at Swan Lake. Date and time still being decided.

In lieu of flowers, Memorial contributions may be made to his children.

Raymond will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew him.
