Raymond LeBlanc, a cherished uncle, brother, neighbor, and friend, passed away on January 31, 2025, at the age of 65. Born on November 24, 1959, in Chicago, Illinois, he was the youngest son of Robert and Chloe LeBlanc. He is survived by his sister, Victoria (LeBlanc) O'Donnell, and was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Robert, Richard, and Arthur.

Ray had a gift for bringing warmth, laughter, and kindness into the lives of everyone he met. He had an infectious sense of humor and always knew the perfect words to brighten someone's day. His passion for cooking led him to attend the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and he carried that love for the culinary arts throughout his life. Beyond the kitchen, Ray found joy in fishing and cherished his time on the water with family and friends.

He will be deeply missed by his nieces and nephews: Bob LeBlanc, Michelle Spain, Richard LeBlanc, Sherry LeBlanc, William LeBlanc, and Elizabeth Spann, along with many other relatives and dear friends who were fortunate to know him.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, February 13, at Kolbus-John V. May Funeral Home in Chicago, Illinois, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with a service at 4:00 PM. Interment will be held privately.

Ray's warmth and generosity will be remembered always, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
