JOHN RAYMON HIMES Mueller's Tri-Cities Funeral Home John Raymon Himes 29, died peacefully at home in Kennewick surrounded by his loving family on October 31, 2016. He fought a short battle against leukemia after a 10-year battle against a rare progressive neurological movement disorder. He was born on March 10, 1987 in Kenne-wick to parents David and Elaine Himes. He is the youngest of four children, a miracle baby from God. As a child and young adult, John had many interests and talents. He belonged to Indian Guides, 4-H, and Jr. Rock Club. He was interested in fractal geometry, video games, art, reading, robotics, rocks and photography. He was an expert at three-dimensional puzzles. He liked to write rap lyrics for his friends in high school. He was in the tech academy at Southridge High School and graduated in 2006. John was a sweet gentle soul. When his illness affected his abilities and restricted his freedom he seldom complained, but adjusted to circumstances. He was always grateful for anything done for him and bore great pain without complaint. He had an enduring simple faith in God and was a lifelong member of St. Joseph's Parish in Kennewick. He loved being home and having visits from his siblings and friends. John greeted everyone with his peace sign. John is survived by his parents, David and Elaine Himes, his brother Christopher Himes (Gentiana Loeffler) of Portland, sisters Jennifer Himes of Phoenix and Katrina Himes (Jason Legare) of Pasco, his aunts Peggy Woods of Sahuarita, Arizona and Mary-Jane Ricciardulli of Jackson, New Jersey, his uncles John C.
