Raymond McElroy

Raymond McElroy, 56, lived in Kansas City, Kansas, and was part of the fabric of his neighborhood. Public records and news reporting identify him as one of the two men who died in a shooting on the evening of September 4, 2020, but they provide very limited information about his private life. What is known in the public record is his name, age, city of residence and the date he died. Beyond those facts there is little publicly available, family‑authorized information such as a published obituary or funeral notice that would describe his relationships, work, or personal interests.

Because a qualifying obituary or memorial notice matching his name and the exact date of death was not found, this remembrance honors Raymond without presuming details that are not documented. Even when public documents are sparse, it is important to acknowledge that his life had value to people who knew him: family members, friends, neighbors, and others whose memories and grief may not appear in news pages. Those everyday connections — the conversations, routines, and small acts of care — are the measure of a life lived among others and deserve quiet recognition.

If you are a family member or close friend with additional, family‑authorized memories, photographs, or details you wish to share for a fuller memorial, those contributions would help paint a more complete, personal picture of Raymond. For now, this page records his name, age, and the date his community lost him, and offers a respectful space acknowledging his humanity beyond the circumstances of his death.
