He also was a sports fan because of his father’s influence. Raul was really fond of the LA Dodgers & the Dallas Cowboys. Reyes attended many sporting events and concerts. As an adult Raul would often be found in the living room reminiscing about time shared alongside his dad, watching old reruns of The Twilight Zone, The Honeymooners, their favorite shows of the time. He often did this as a child, even getting to witness Mahamad Ali (sting like a bee) boxing matches, laughing alongside his dad and enjoying the better times of life.

Raul was a deeply beloved father,brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. His passing was sudden and unexpected. While we lost our most beloved brother, dad, many have lost a friend and loved one in him. He has been a rock to many, Raul found most joy as father and grandfather with a spiritual purpose as a musician. He was inspired and moved to play rock 'n' roll. He played drums like no other. Raul communicated best through his music where he felt free . Raul was both witty and equally funny like his father. People always loved being around him because of how he made them feel. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beloved brother. Thank you for being united with us at this challenging and difficult time. We ask you to hold us in prayer, light and in your highest vibrational thoughts.
