Raymond Trevino Delgado, Jr., entered his eternal home on Sunday, March 29, 2026 at Ascension All Saints Hospital in Racine, Wisconsin. Raymond was born January 13, 1951 in Taylor, Texas, the son of Raymond and Lydia (NEE: Trevino) Delgado, Sr. Raymond was raised by his grandparents Juanita and Jose Trevino after the passing of his mother at a young age. On October 29, 1984 he married the love of his life, Irene Rodriguez. Raymond was the owner of “Carpet Installations by Raymond” for 57 years, only being 16 years old when he discovered his passion for flooring and eventually passing the business over to his sons. He was also known as Wimpy The Clown, entertaining his friends at events and parades by performing stunts. Raymond was a jack of all Trades, taking on various jobs including videography, but always willing to give a helping hand for anyone in need. He really enjoyed repairing cars and barbecuing brisket. He loved his family and adored his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a God-Fearing man and loved preaching the Good News and was an avid member of Stand On His Word Ministry. He had a passion for traveling and always looked forward to enjoying Louie Mueller’s Barbecue in Taylor. Raymond had five children from his previous marriage with Rosalie Vargas and took in two children from his current wife Irene Rodriguez. Together they were blessed with two more children, becoming a blended family of nine. He had many good friends and acquaintances, many from his flooring business and continued to spread the word of the Lord to whomever he was given the opportunity. He suffered with his health since 2007, but the Lord was gracious to spare him to continue spreading His word. He loved the homeless and provided food, shelter and guidance taking many people under his wing and his profession of flooring and carpentry.

Raymond Trevino Delgado, Jr.
My deepest sympathy to the Trevino Delgado family. Raymond and Kinin stayed with my family as well in Taylor. He loved his Tio Willie and tia Angelita and us 8 kids. He loved playing his trumpet for the neighbor hood kids, and keeping us in line. He always said that he like staying with us because he had lots of sisters and brothers. He used to say Tio where are going to go next? And when he married my cousin Irene he said,Tia I’m your nephew twice over ok!! He always called texted me to check on me, and pray. So it’s hard to say goodbye and farewell my friend. May Raymond Rest in Peace.
He always talked about getting to heaven and meeting Jesus.
He made it! He’s happy, he’s healed, and in paradise.
Thanks for being a father to me on this earth. You took me in as your real daughter. You brought me my first car, and you prayed for God to keep me invisible from cops & I was Lol. Raymond, your faith was SO admirable. Thanks for all the prayers & guidance. Thanks for taking care of me and my babies, you were always there. Just one call and the issue was solved or gone by miracle. I will always remember all the great late-night talks and Bible teachings. You taught me everything I know about our Lord and Savior. I will forever be so grateful and thankful for everything. Rest peacefully Raymond.
Thank you so much cousin Sylvia to both of us. Without you going to look for Raymond on April 7, 1983 Iike Tia , your mom told you too, I would not have met Raymond the love of my life.

Semper Fi Marine, you can now guard the gates of Heaven. I have here for you. May you rest in peace, and enjoy being with God our Father.
Irene,I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sorry I won’t be able to be there. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family
I’ve known Raymond for over 40 yrs. Raymond was a great friend to me and my family. He was always ready help me on any project I might be working on. May you rest in eternal peace my friend.
Our deepest condolences to all your family.
Stay safe up there in paradise Grandpa, Love you.
I met Raymond 32 years ago, and from the very beginning he was kind and helpful to my family. He was the grandfather of my daughter Bria and my son Dallas, whom I share with his son Kris. Over the years, he always considered me his daughter-in-law, and that meant so much to me.
I will miss him very much, and I am deeply saddened that I’m unable to attend the funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him.
May he rest in peace with our Lord Jesus.
