Raymond DeAnda Olivas, ""Sonny"", 84, passed away February 22, 2019. He was born January 17, 1935 and was a resident of Las Vegas for most of the past 56 years. He was one of the early members of St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church, active in the Knights of Columbus and served on the board of Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada. Ray was a school teacher in the Clark County School District and gained the fond respect of his students and peers for 33 years before he retired. After some time off he decided he would use his bi-lingual skills and work part-time for Nuance Duty Free at McCarran International Airport. During his 10 years there, his co-workers and customers always looked forward to seeing his smile and accepting his warm greetings. Ray was a loving father, brother, granddad, uncle and friend who always said that there was nothing more important to him than family. He is survived by his brothers, Bob (Pat) Olivas and Paul (Kerry) Stapleton; four children, Lisa (JD) Olivas-Cook, Ted (Melissa), Terry (Peggy), and Michael Olivas; six grandchildren, Tyler, Jake, Iva, Trevor, Tony and Rayah; and many nieces and nephews.
