Pat was my “wood man”. He and Jessica stacked wood many years to keep me warm!
He was so very proud of Samantha and we shared many talks about “living the OR life”

My Sunshine was purchased for the family of Patrick Daniel Raith by Brenda Michiel Veeser, Steve Veeser, Alyssa,Kinzey.
My deepest sympathy to the Raith family. I will always be grateful for the kindness Pat showed my elderly parents, James & Elizabeth Windorff, who retired to Junction City. Pat and his now ex-wife Cindy visited with them and gave them frozen chickens etc. Pat was very special to them. May he rest in peace and live on eternally in our memories.
My condolences to his wife of 40 years Cindy Raith and her son and grandson.
