Raymond Henry Griffin

Raymond Henry Griffin, 77, of Douglasville, Georgia, passed away on Friday, October 24, 2025, with the love of his life and wife of 53 years by his side.

Raymond was born on May 15, 1948, in Colby, Kansas, the first of eight children of the late Dewey and Lola Mae Griffin.

He proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. It was through his service that he discovered his lifelong trade as an electrician - and met his dearest friend, Ed Quishenbery.

Upon returning to Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia, Ray met and fell in love with Donna Marie Powell. They were married in Savannah on July 15, 1972, and built a beautiful life together for 53 years. Ray took great pride in his family and the life they built.

For more than 50 years, Ray practiced as an electrician, even having owned and operated his own business, Griffin Systems Installers (GSI), alongside Donna. His hard work and integrity were noted by all he worked with and for.

Ray was known for his humor and his knack for bringing laughter wherever he went. He loved to travel, enjoyed reading historical nonfiction, and never passed up a good meal out. He also cherished the companionship of his beloved pets, Huck the dog and Suzy the cat.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his brother Radean Griffin; and brother-in-law, Tom Kelly.

He is survived by his loving wife Donna Griffin; his daughter, Kimberly (Mike) Rogers; sons, Colby (Melissa) Griffin, and Zachary (Terri) Griffin; sisters, Debbie Kelly, Joy Griffin, and Billie Griffin; brothers, Glenn (Chris) Griffin, Ragene (Karen) Griffin, and Tracey (Diane) Griffin; sister-in law, Karen; five grandchildren, Shelby (Ze’Vion) Griffin, Christian (Ja’ven) Griffin, Hailey (Maverick) Griffin, Jack Rogers, and Micah Griffin; two great-grandchildren Denver and Waverley; and many nieces and nephews.
