Raymond Aime Dion, 55 of Manchester, passed away at home on April 22, 2021 after a long illness. He was born on August 1, 1965 in Manchester, NH, the son of Aime A. Dion and Joyce Gagne Dion. As a child, Ray enjoyed little league baseball, and was on the swim team. He learned to play organ and often could be heard playing in the Bedford Mall, outside of Darrell's Music Hall. He graduated from Manchester West High School in 1983. Ray wore many hats in his life. He worked as a batch maker at Freudenberg in Manchester for many years, he worked as a restaurant manager, and was employed at Epoch Homes working in the carpentry field which he loved very much. His favorite hobby was snowmobiling in the North of NH and Maine, and most recently, he had taken up target shooting at Manchester Firing Line
He is survived by his mother, Joyce Dion, Godmother, Violet Gelinas, daughter, Ashley Dion, and son, Alex Dion, as well as many friends. Ray was predeceased by his father Aime Dion and his son Brandon Dion.
Friends to the end, we will miss his deep sounding chuckle and his smile that could light up the room.
No formal services will be held at this time.
