It is with profound sadness that we announce the untimely passing of long-time RFD member Jack Hite, who served Raymond FD for approximately 32 years. Throughout his tenure, he held various roles, including secretary, treasurer, and Captain. Additionally, he was the longest-serving current employee of Hinds Community College, with approximately 45 years of service. If you were familiar with Raymond or Hinds, chances are you knew Jack and he more than likeley helped you along the way. With the many roles Jack filled, including firefighter, policeman, counselor, preacher, husband, father, and many more, the most important role he held was that of a Christian. With this, we take comfort in knowing that we will be reunited with him one day. Rest in peace, Jack. Your work here is done, and we are confident that you heard the words "Well done, my good and faithful servant". Please keep the Hite family in your prayers during this difficult time.
