Jan Russell Raley, age 72 of Lebanon, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 13, 2026 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was born February 22, 1954 in Lebanon to the late Francis Raley Jr. and Mayola (Russell) Raley. Jan will be remembered for his deep passion for classic cars and the joy he found in everything automotive. Whether he was attending car shows, watching or participating in drag races, or working under the hood, he felt most at home with a wrench in his hand and an engine nearby. As a skilled mechanic, he spent countless hours helping others, always willing to lend his time and talent to anyone in need. Beyond his love for cars, Jan was a devoted family man and a loyal friend. He cherished the moments spent with loved ones, sharing stories, laughter, and creating lasting memories. His kindness, generosity, and easygoing nature made him someone people naturally gravitated toward. Jan worked at Jane and Linda's Sportswear for over 20 years before working at and retiring from Wilbert's Plastics.

Besides his parents, Jan was preceded in death by his siblings, Ann Carol Tatum, Joseph Darrell Raley Sr. and Mary Jo Raley.

Survivors include his wife of 50 years, Sandy Raley; children, Ian Raley and Pamela (Joshua) Flowers; brothers, Francis Louis Raley III (Lynn) and Patrick Kevin Raley (Dotty); sisters, Mary Susan Raley Stumph (Jerry) and Jean Ann Skaggs (Jim); grandchildren, Masen and Preston Raley; also surviving are a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
