Raymond "Ray" Glen

Roan, Jr.

Raymond Glen Roan Jr., 69, of Hannibal, Missouri, passed away peacefully October 31, 2026. Born on November 23, 1956, to Raymond and Patricia Roan, Ray lived a life filled with music, laughter, friendship, and a love for family.

Ray is survived by his longtime companion, Dale Peeters; his children, Brett Roan, Alexis Roan, and Miranda Roan; his longtime friend and caregiver, Cheryl; and many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond and Patricia Roan.

Ray never met a stranger. Known for his quick wit, outgoing personality, and ability to bring humor into any situation, he had a unique gift for making people feel welcome. Whether sharing a joke, telling a story, or striking up a conversation with someone he'd just met, Ray left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Ray enjoyed baseball and football and was a devoted Green Bay Packers fan. He also had a tremendous love for animals. His cherished fur babies remained faithfully by his side until his final days, bringing him comfort and companionship.

Music was one of Ray's greatest passions. He appreciated all genres but had a special love for the blues. Over the years, he expressed his love of music by playing drums in several bands and working as a DJ. Whether behind the drums or on stage, Ray found joy in bringing people together through music.

Above all, Ray treasured the people in his life. His family and friends will remember his laughter, his quick wit, his sense of humor, and the countless memories he created throughout the years.

In accordance with Ray's wishes, there will be no funeral service. Immediate family and close friends will gather privately to celebrate his life and honor the many memories he leaves behind.

Cremation arrangements are being handled by the Smith Funeral Home & Chapel of Hannibal.

Though he may be gone from our sight, his music, laughter, and larger-than-life personality will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
