Raymond J. DiMonte

Raymond J. DiMonte died unexpectedly on August 8, 2021, at age 62.  He was born on May 15, 1959 in Chicago, IL. Ray grew up in Naperville, IL.  He attended St. Raphael School and graduated from Naperville Central High School in 1978. As an adult, Ray returned to the city of Chicago and spent many years working for his father at Victone Manufacturing Company.  Ray was a city boy at heart. He rode his bike all around the city and loved going to the beach.  Recently, he was overjoyed to move to an apartment overlooking Lake Michigan. Sadly, it was this beloved lake that took his life while swimming in waters that turned choppy on a Sunday afternoon.  Ray is survived by his father, Joseph A. DiMonte (Maria) of Sugar Grove, IL, and siblings Joseph N. (Laurie) DiMonte of Gilbert, AZ, Susan DiMonte of Peoria, AZ, and Sandra (Michael) Frost of Geneva, IL.   He is also survived by his nieces and nephews Joseph R. DiMonte (Adella DeHaro), Jaclyn DiMonte (Steve Puklin), Mike Carroll (Tina Alnimri), and Merissa (Tim)Murphy all of AZ, and Abbey Frost of IL, as well as several great nieces and nephews in Arizona.  Ray will certainly be missed by his many friends as well.  Ray was preceded in death by his mother, Jean Rae DiMonte.  A service to remember Ray will be held Tuesday, August 24, 2021, at 12:00 P.M at Moss Family Funeral Home, 209 South Batavia Avenue Batavia, IL.  Visitation will be held from 10:00 A.M. until the time of the service.  In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.  630-879-7900, www.mossfuneral.com
