FALL RIVER- With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Donald Charles Raymond, age 70, who passed away peacefully on August 30, 2026, at Hope Health Hospice Center in Providence, RI.  Born in Fall River, he was the son of the late John Raymond and the late Jeannette (Guinen) Raymond.

Donald survived by his brother John A. Raymond, of Somerset and his niece Denise Cunha, of Somerset. He is also survived by Tim Raymond (nephew) of Somerset, Amanda Antonelli (niece) of Somerset, and Brian Vadeboncoeur (nephew) of Florida. He is predeceased by his late sister Patricia Vadeboncoeur.

In his younger years, Donald enjoyed hunting in the Berkshires, playing his guitars, and spending time with his family at Thanksgiving, his favorite holiday.  He was proud to say he was still close to the friends he made at Carroll School in Fall River and he cherished those life-long friendships.
Donald held many different jobs over the course of his life. He worked at Duro Textiles, drove limousines, was a brick layer, and served as a Constable in the 1980's. "Party On!" was his way of saying good-bye. So, Donald, now we say to you….Party On!
