Raymund (Ray) Lavilla Mojica, affectionately also known as Jojo, passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife on December 17, 2024.

Born on March 6, 1965, in the Philippines, Ray and his family moved to the US where he grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. This is where he built lasting friendships and fond memories. Later, he joined the United States Navy and served nine years to include 2 wars (Gulf War and Cold War). Eventually Ray settled in St. Marys, Georgia, with the love of his life, Kimberly, where they created their life together.

Ray is survived by his devoted wife, Kimberly, and his loving children, Emily, Ashley, Ciera Pamela, and Sheldon, his brother Tony, his sister Marilou and their families, mother in law Barbara, and four grandchildren, who were all a huge source of pride and joy to him. Ray now joins his parents, Joe and Luz, and father in law Roy in eternal peace.

Ray will be remembered for his easy-going nature and his infectious sense of humor. Always the jokester, Ray could light up a room with his laughter and make anyone feel at ease even when the jokes had inappropriate timing. His kindness, warmth, and desire to find humor in every moment were unmatched.

Ray's life was a testament to the love of his work and finding happiness in the little things. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

A service to celebrate Ray's life will be held at Alison Memorial Funeral home on Friday December 20, 2024. Funeral service will be at 6:00 pm with a visitation one hour prior to service starting at 5:00.

Ray's spirit will live on through the lives he touched and the love he shared. Rest peacefully, Ray—you will be deeply missed and forever loved.
