Raymond DeRosear Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Raymond DeRosear (West Point, Iowa), whose life came to an end on October 3, 2025 at the age of 77, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Raymond farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Raymond is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Verle Vincent and Edith "Jane" DeRosear; his son Pyter James; and his granddaughter Alyssa Delaney Limas. He is survived by: his significant other Paula Joyce Davis of Urbana, Iowa; and his brothers, Ronald (Linda) of Farmington and Jeff of Colfax. He is also survived by several cousins and nieces.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 17th 2025 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Memorials may be given to Alzheimers Association for research in ending this devastating condition.
