Obituary of William McKenzie Raymont
William McKenzie Raymont
William (Bill to his family) passed away January 3rd due to injuries from a fall at his home. Born in Cranbrook to parents William and Edna (deceased), he is survived by sisters Sherry Dreksler, Wendy Jerome, brothers Randy and James, special cousin Shirley “Gina” Boutilier and best friend, Louise Abbott. He also leaves behind his cats and constant companions Maxx and Boots.
William was a quiet man who cherished learning. After an early retirement, due to ill health, he spent many happy years at the College of the Rockies completing studies in Criminal Justice, History, Philosophy and Human Services, just to mention a few. He read voraciously and could (did) talk for hours about the remarkable things he had learned.
The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff at Cranbrook Regional and Trail Regional Hospitals for their compassionate care during his final month. At his request, there will be no memorial service.
