Raymond was a Heavy Equipment Operator and worked at Gulf Island for many years. He was a member of Coteau Baptist Church and served as a Deacon for many years. Raymond loved to go and see what God had created, such as mountains, waterfalls, and to ride his Honda motorcycle with his wife and friends, fishing, and spending time with family and friends. He also loved listening to Southern Gospel music and concerts. Raymond will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
The Theriot family would like to thank Dr. Gregory Maidoh and nurses at the Dialysis Center for the 4 1/2 years of caring for him. He was known as the “Candy Man” to all. The family would also like to thank the staff at Terrebonne General CCU and Haydel Memorial Hospice and staff for their care and compassion.
