Ray Romero 01/26/1956-03/06/2021 Ray gained his wings on Saturday, March 06, 2021, in Roswell, New Mexico. He was the beloved husband of Geraldine Romero, whom he married on May 21, 1988, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ray was a loving father, husband, grandpa, brother, son, and friend. He was a man of work and always had to stay busy. Ray would often joke about outworking the young guys in the oil field. He loved to spend time with family. Ray enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, working on automobiles, and sharing political posts on Facebook. He was a know-it-all and believed he was always right, which was about 99% of the time, and would always follow by saying, “I told you so.” Ray would do everything in his power for his family and always put others first. He will be greatly missed by many. Preceding Ray in death are his father, Robert C. Romero; grandson, Joseph E. Romero; nephews: Ramon Robert Solis and Robert Romero; brother-in-law, Ramon Javier Solis; and his sister-in-law, JoAnn Gonzales.
