Raines, Raymond R. age 65, of Columbus, Minnesota went home to be with his parents Kenneth and Emily, his sister Laurie and his beloved dogs on April 4th, 2020 after a long courageous battle with cancer. There wasn't anyone that was more interested and knowledgeable about tractors or more passionate about helping people or loving his dogs than Raymond. Raymond was a 1973 graduate of Forest Lake High School where he participated in football and FFA. He was often referred to as the "All American Farm Kid". Raymond volunteered with the Columbus Seniors doing whatever was needed or asked of him. He joined the Columbus Lions Club in 2004 where he found a new family and a new purpose. He was a great addition to the club. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, his strength, willingness to help however and whenever he could, his smile and for his favorite saying "That's my story and I'm sticking to it." Raymond will be missed dearly by his community and the Columbus Lions. A celebration of life will be held July 12th at 4:00pm at Lions Park in Columbus, Minnesota.
