It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Raymond J. Rouse, affectionately known to his friends and family as "Cheese," who left us on August 24, 2026, at the age of 46. Born on December 27, 1979, in Philadelphia, PA, Ray was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished son, and a kind-hearted friend to many.

Raymond is survived by his beloved wife, Amanda Rouse (née Royds), and their four cherished children: Raymond, Matteo, Natalia, and Luca. He was a proud son of Sherry Bell.

Ray's warmth and generosity defined him. He had an unwavering commitment to his family and delighted in spending quality time with his children. Known for his genuine kindness, Ray was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was the proud owner of his own home improvement business, where he earned a reputation for providing outstanding quality work and creating beautiful, lasting transformations.

Ray's legacy will continue to live on through his family and the many lives he touched throughout his journey.

The family will hold a memorial service to honor Raymond's life, inviting friends and loved ones to share their memories and celebrate the life of a truly remarkable man. Friends and relatives are invited on Saturday, September 5, 2026 from 6-8 PM at Koller Funeral Home, 6835 Ridge Ave. Interment is Private.

In this difficult time, we ask that you keep Amanda and the children in your thoughts and prayers, as they navigate life without their devoted Ray. He will be missed more than words can express.
