Raymond Green Vance:

The family is planning both public and private memorial and funeral services this week.


Raymond was a beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, brother, and friend. His family will forever grieve his absence, but they also wish to celebrate his incredible life.


Several opportunities to remember Raymond are available to the public; all events will be held at:

Swan Law Funeral Directors

501 N. Cascade Ave.

Colorado Springs, CO 80903


The public is invited to attend two viewings at the funeral home:

  • Thursday, December 1, from 4 - 8pm

  • Friday, December 2, from 4 - 8pm


The funeral services for Raymond Green Vance will be private; however on Saturday, December 3, at 4:30pm, the family invites the public to join them for a dove release followed by a candlelight vigil from 6 to 8 pm. Both of these events will be held in the outdoor garden area of Swan Law Funeral Directors.


MEDIA: per policy, the funeral home does not permit cameras (still or video) anywhere on their property at any time. Members of the media are welcome to attend the public events without cameras. They are also permitted to set up cameras off the property. In the aerial image of the property (please see map below), everything within the red box is off limits to media with cameras. The green circle is the garden area, and the yellow line indicates the front entrance. Raymond’s family is comfortable with cameras being present, as long as they adhere to the location restrictions.


Thank you in advance for respecting the family’s wishes. They are still very much grieving, and while they do wish to remember the amazing person Raymond was alongside all of you, they would also like private opportunities to mourn him.
