Raymond Wilson Obituary

Wilson, Raymond P. 90, of Scottsdale, AZ, passed peacefully into heaven on November 3, 2025, just 8 days before his 91st birthday. Ray was Jersey City born and bred, spending much of his life in the Garden State before retiring to Scottsdale 20 years ago. Although he had a successful career in a facet of the health and education construction industry, what he enjoyed most was retirement. As he always said, "If I didn't have to eat, I wouldn't work!" Ray had a zest for life and loved spending time with his friends and family. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. Ray lost his wife Pat - the love of his life - 8 years ago. He is survived by his children Sharon, Laura, Linda, Melissa and Tim; Grandchildren Jaclyn, Matthew, Deanna, Raymond, Liz, Tim, Michael, Olivia and Griffin; and Great-grandchildren Ryan, Hunter, Timmy, Brianna and Katie. A devout Christian, his faith was an inspiration to many. Memorial services will be held at Messinger Pinnacle Peak Mortuary at 8555 East Pinnacle Peak Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85255(480-502-3378) on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to Illuminate Community Church. (Illuminatecommunity.com)
