Dr. Tommy Raines of Camden went to his heavenly home on Tuesday, September 19, 2023. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. His humor was contagious and his loud laugh lit up every room. His hospitality and servants heart left an impact on more people than could ever be counted. His pride as a parent and especially as a grandparent was unmatched. He absolutely adored his wife and truly believed that she hung the moon. Tommy was a faithful man who loved the Lord, his church, and community. He was a member of the Camden Rotary Club, a Deacon at Immanuel Baptist Church, and the Pastor’s Accountability Team of Oasis Church.

We have faith and firm belief that his beloved Father James Ray was waiting for him when he entered into heaven to be with his savior.
