Ray Gene Kothe Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Ray Gene Kothe (Brookings, South Dakota), born in Kemmerer, Wyoming, who passed away at the age of 54, on February 17, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ray Gene Kothe to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Ray Gene may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his father William Kothe; and his brother Bill Kothe. He is survived by: his wife Kerry Kothe; his children, William Kothe (Angel) and Ashley Jones (Sam); his granddaughter Madysn; and his siblings, Lillie Dona, Nadine Whitman, Toni Dunning and Andrew Kothe.
