CLAUDE RAYMON RICHARDON, 59, was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 26, 1964 to Alma Johnson Lesane and the late Claude Richardson, Jr. He departed this life on September 5, 2023 at the Durham VA Medical Center.

Raymon, as he was known by loved ones, graduated from North Iredell High School in 1983 and Baltimore City Community College with an Associate of Arts in Managerial Sciences in 1991. He also attended the University of Baltimore.

Raymon also worked previously for Crabtree Electric and Durham Public Schools.

An avid lover of sports, especially football, Raymon was a committed Baltimore Ravens fan and enjoyed fishing in his pastime since his childhood.

Raymon was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, a family church he attended as a child. Later, he joined Greater Saint Paul Missionary Baptist Church.

In addition to his biological father, he was preceded in death by the stepfather who raised him, Junious Lesane.
