Raymond S. Theriault β A Life Remembered, A Name Not Forgotten. ποΈπ
Some moments arrive without warning and leave behind a silence that words can hardly explain. On Saturday evening, September 5, 2026, a heartbreaking tragedy unfolded along U.S. 280 in Shelby County, Alabama, claiming the life of 55-year-old Birmingham man Raymond S. Theriault.
At approximately 8:15 p.m., Raymond was in the roadway near the 8-mile marker, less than a mile east of the Hoover city limits, when he was struck by a 2017 Kia Sorento driven by 62-year-old Jerome Rhodes Jr., also of Birmingham. The impact left Raymond critically injured. He was rushed to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, where, despite efforts to save him, he sadly succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
Behind every tragic headline is a human lifeβa person who had memories, moments, hopes, conversations, and a place in the lives of others. Raymondβs story is now marked by a heartbreaking ending, but his name deserves to be remembered with dignity and compassion.
Tonight, a family may be facing an emptiness that cannot easily be filled. Friends may be replaying memories, wishing for one more conversation, one more smile, one more ordinary moment that once seemed so precious only in hindsight.
May Raymond S. Theriault rest peacefully. ποΈ
May his memory remain a quiet light in the hearts of those who knew him, and may those mourning his passing find strength through the difficult days ahead.
Gone from this world, but never forgotten. πποΈ
