Raymond Luis Sierra

October 13, 1992 — September 24, 2020

Raymond Luis Sierra, "Goldito", age 27, of Bridgeport, returned to the Loving Arms of the Lord suddenly on September 24, 2020 in Bridgeport. He was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico; son of Jose Ramon Sierra and Marie E. Oquendo Rios prior to relocating to Connecticut at the age of eight. Raymond was a young man full of life who enjoyed Boxing and had invested long hours in that which he had fought in various local boxing matches and had been known as "Hollywood". He had a good heart and always looked forward to spending time with the family. His contagious smile earned him an additional nickname of "Sonrisita" because he was always smiling, and he always managed to keep smiling regardless of anything. Joyful as he was and regardless of the amount of things on his plate daily he managed to always stop by to see mom and spend time with her. His favorite times were spent with the family he loves so much and then his beautiful children which he adored. At a young age, Raymond had so much to live for, undoubtedly and unfortunately, in life situations beyond the control of all on earth but one who never leaves or forsakes any of us, extended His hand to him when his human body could no longer be able to hold his Spirit. God we know and trust that ultimately the only option was to have him return to the your heavenly place, to your presence. Moments like these we truly feel that our hearts have been robbed of having our precious loved one, and hopeful young man and as humans we feel the pain of not having him amongst us, but we know, God's promises are real, That tomorrow was never promised, but that eternity is, That we may have to succumb to such unfortunate situations, but our true life is Never ending. Until that Glorious day, Goldito, Rest in Peace, and when that moment arises, that trumpet sound is heard, & that voice from the heavens shouts we believe that we will see you again, and realize it just seemed that that earthly weapon prospered but it could not destroy your spirit and Soul. Now more than ever, we know you are watching from above, we know your babies will always have their pops up in the skies! Along with his parents, Raymond is survived by his children, Makayla Sierra, Raymond L. Sierra, Jr., Ariana Marie Sierra, Jovan Ray Sierra and Raylynn Sierra; his brothers, Raymond D. Sierra and Raymond Joshua Sierra; his grandparents, Carmen Rios and Carmelo Sierra; his uncles and aunts, Pedro Oquendo, Pedro Juan Oquendo, Melissa Oquendo, Carmelo Sierra, Luis David Sierra, Irene Sierra and Zaida Sierra. He is also survived by many other family members and friends that will sorely miss him. Please explore his memorial page where you may share your memories, prayers and so much more found EXCLUSIVELY at luzdepaz.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REGARDING RESTRICTIONS due to COVID 19 (CURRENT) Regulations, restrictions and policy REQUIRED at all times within our facility! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The COVID-19 Virus, the rules, regulations, limitations, and everything that has been implemented and required by us all to implement, undoubtedly, has been challenging for all and funeral homes are not exempt from such plentiful rules and regulations. We want everyone to keep in mind, thus regulations and rules are made for the GENERAL well being and health of the public. In Connecticut we have had the bountiful Blessing to see that our efforts of committing to the guidelines set forth to prevent the exposure to the virus has not gone unrewarded, BUT we know and can clearly see around the world that getting too comfortable will only create the possibility to allow all of our efforts to become null and void and all the progress we have had, be destroyed. Our State once again moves on to open and return back to normal implementing each phase, the current guidelines have determined that during viewing and visitation, and Funeral Services and these guidelines are STRICTLY adhered to and all attendees are expected to adhere to such regulations during their visit or unfortunately will be required to request such person (s) to exit our facility for the safety of all. Under no circumstance can we permit our facility to become a place where others should feel nothing less than safe and welcomed. Therefore such are the things that all visitors are required to follow if intending to come into the facilities of the funeral home to join the family; - 49 persons or less would be the amount of persons permitted inside the funeral home at one given time (Sq. ft of complete facility divided 36 required sq ft. of social distancing per person = ___________ then divided by 4 = the required 25 percent of the full capacity of the facility during the current times) -Anyone outside unable to enter during the service or whether capacity has been reached, will be able to hear the entre service and all announcements made throughout the evening. -anyone Inside the facility and even those outside creating the line down the back ramp to await others to exit to be granted the opportunity to enter it is REQUESTED that a 6 ft social distancing requirements be followed -Back entrance of the funeral home will be the EXCLUSIVE ENTRANCE AND EXIT throughout the entire viewing time. -Masks are REQUIRED TO ENTER -Masks are REQUIRED DURING THE ENTIRE STAY -Masks MUST cover the face and mouth during the entire stay (No exceptions) (anyone not covering their mouth and nose during their stay will be asked to leave immediately. PLEASE EVERYONE THIS IS FOR EVERYONE. -ALL FRIENDS are requested by the family and funeral home to come in when guided by funeral home staff, pay your respects, greet the family if you wish, the exit to the parking lot allowing others that may be in line to come in and do the same, BUT absolutely ONLY Blood relatives instructed by the family will remain inside the facility. Everyone's cooperation is what makes this possible and allows us to make this happen regardless of the restrictions and allowing everyone who loved, cherished and appreciated their loved one to come, pay their respects and all share time as a family, comfortably without having to go outside over and over to allow others to come in. Yet with everyone's cooperation, they remain inside as the extended family and everyone that comes through inspires them as the love that their loved one shared with each and everyone is supporting their hearts and minds with their presence and shared memories! We understand the cumbersome and uncomfortable nature of the wearing of masks, BUT: Consider this : YOU may run into someone ASYMPTOMATIC (they don't know, and you don't know) and suddenly your exposed because inside the building you decided, I don't like the mask covering my nose. YOU return home and expose your entire family including parents and even causing the death of someone dear to you, like a grandparent or parent as we just experienced with a family served, simply because you didn't want to be uncomfortable for 10 minutes which should be the maximum amount of time any friends would remain in the funeral home. Is it worth it? We may be young, we may be strong, and we may be "healthy" but maybe just maybe someone you run into is not and YOU are the reason they are now possibly exposed. It's not worth it, let us all work together while we are out to protect each other, protect our families, protect our homes until this invisible threat which has been a nightmare for so many, becomes a memory most want to forget! Let us work to keep the levels where they are and even lower with our help and God's guidance and blessing above all!
