It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Corporal Raymond Hebert, who lost his battle to brain cancer at the age of 45, on November 13 at 12:45 p.m. 

Ray was the loving father of three beautiful children; 13-year-old Alice Hebert, and his 18-year-old twins Heather and Ben Hebert. It was with great joy that he was able to see his oldest two children graduate in May, and it is with great sadness that he will be unable to do the same for his youngest. 

He shared with his son a truly kind heart, a playful spirit and an unrelenting attention to detail in every project he undertook. 

With his eldest daughter, he shared a passion for nature and spent hours capturing the beauty of the world and everything in it with stunning photographs. 

His youngest daughter reflects his witty sense of humour and remarkable compassion for others. 

His enthusiasm and childlike joy for life is shared with his wife, Kate Hebert. 

Ray met his wife Kate at Kelly Road Secondary School in 1996 when they were only 14 and 16 years old. They were married in 2005 and celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this summer on July 23. It is with great sadness that Kate will be unable to share the rest of her life with Ray. 

In September 2005, Ray joined the Edmonton City Police Force. After discovering that he was to become a father of twins, Ray pursued a career with the RCMP. He became an RCMP Constable in February 2007. His first posting was general duty in Prince George, B.C. In September 2012, Ray transferred to Kamloops and continued his work on general duty, genuinely committed to his community. In January 2014, Ray found his passion in the RCMP as a Forensic Identification Specialist as well as a certified drone operator. Ray was promoted to Corporal in April 2015. 

Ray felt deep gratitude for the care and support he was given by his RCMP family, and for the love and friendship he received from his Forensic Identification team. Ray served his family, his friends, his coworkers and his church by going above and beyond in everything that he did. 

Ray is survived by his loving parents Karen and Martin Hebert. He will be forever missed by his older brother Adrian Hebert, Stephanie Hebert and niece Jyelle Hebert. He will be missed like a son by his in-law parents, Deanna and Dave Fayle, and like a brother by his sister-in-law Heather (and Nathan) Harrer, and brother-in-law James (Robin and Chloe) Fayle. 

Ray touched the lives of everyone that he met, and his memory will be held in all of our hearts forever.
