Jeffrey Allen Raymond, 63, of Villas, NJ passed away unexpectedly on December 9th, 2025. Born on August 19th, 1962, in Elmer, NJ. Jeff lived a life full of courage, hard work, faith, and devotion to everyone he loved.

Jeff spent 38 years as a Laborer and Shop Steward for Laborers’ International Union of South Jersey; Local 172. He recently retired in 2019 and built his business, Spruce Up. Through this, he truly shined as the “Jeff of all trades” and continually gave his heart, patience, and flawless work to every family and business he encountered. 

He met the love of his life, Denise, in 1993, now married 29 years, together they built a marriage, a family, and a home on a foundation of everlasting love. Jeff loved deeply, he walked through life as the most loving husband, son, father, poppa and uncle. He loved his family with strength, loyalty, and a fullness that defined who he was. Jeff truly embodied what family means and that will never be forgotten. 

Jeff was a true patriot and proudly stood on his beliefs of what it took to honor his country. He was known as the best “Girl Dad”, as he loved his four girls like no other. He proudly supported his Giana and Ciara as collegiate cheerleaders and “his blondes”, Carina and Giorgi, as his past and future Jefferson Lacrosse stars. When he wasn’t watching his girls, he was traveling as a Poppa to watch his grandson, Grayson, play soccer. And most recently, who filled his life with smiles and laughter, was his curly hair and blue eyed granddaughter, Evie Lyn.

Lastly, Jeff loved his Philadelphia sports teams with passion. Even though they frustrated him week after week, you never saw him leave the house without wearing his Phils or Birds. 

He is survived by his wife, Denise, his four daughters Giana, Ciara, Carina, and Giordana, and the two lights of his life, his grandchildren, Grayson and Evie, who all brought him endless happiness.
