Raymond is preceded in death by: His brother, William Cox; late wife, Denise Cox; and two of his four stepsons, Patrick and Fitzgerald.

Raymond is survived by: His loving wife, Ellena Harris Cox; two stepsons, Brian and Terrell Harris; two brothers, Johnny and Darnell Cox (Sheila); one sister, Idella Cox; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
