Raymond Walter Paleczka, age 57, died on Thursday, November 21st, 2024 at his home in Farmers Branch. He was born on May 17th, 1967 to his parents, Raymond and Cecile Paleczka in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Ray had 2 children, Alexandra and Chandler. He was preceded in death by his parents and friends. He worked as a warehouse manager at Casino Supply Company for many years, as he was very dedicated to his job. Some might even say he was a workaholic. He was an avid musician who loved playing guitar and had an ear for music as well as an amazing golfer, fisherman and father. He loved to cruise on his Harley, and feel the wind in his beard; almost as much as he loved his two children. He was a man of few words, quiet, smart and humble, but when he spoke, people listened. He was truly a free spirit, who often talked about his dreams of traveling on his bike and seeing this beautiful country of ours. Though he grew up traveling the world from military base to base, I have never met someone more Texan or American than him.
