Reverend Raymond Plaster was born on March 10, 1938, in Purcell, Oklahoma, and entered into his eternal rest on Sunday, February 7, 2021, in Ft. Worth, Texas. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Plaster Sr., his mother, Pearl Louise Johnston, his brother, Morece Plaster, and two grandsons, Michael and Brendon Brawley.
He is survived by his wife Linda Plaster who he affectionately called his “Lady Love.” She served alongside him in life and ministry. He is survived by his children Paul and Teressa Plaster of Oklahoma, Brenda and Kim Sutterfield of Oklahoma, Shelly and Perry Miller of Oklahoma, Michelle and Mark Davenport of Georgia, and Jerry Morris of Texas. He is survived by eight grandchildren Randi and JD Rutledge of Oklahoma, Jennifer and Tyson Parker of Oklahoma, Jodi and Keith Schwarz of Oklahoma, Paul Ray Plaster Jr. of Oklahoma, Alora and A.J. Addinall of Alabama, Jordan Miller of Oklahoma, Andrew Morris of Texas, and Dillon Morris of Texas. He is also survived by fourteen great grandchildren Haden Rutledge, Annabella Marie Rutledge, Laney Rutledge, Clair Rutledge, and Aubri Rutledge, Chaslyn Parker and Ashton Parker, Brody Schwarz, Emma Schwarz, and Conner Schwarz, Damien Donaldson, John Plaster, and Annabelle Lee Thomas, and Jett T. Miller. Lastly, he is survived by nieces and a nephew and other extended family.
Raymond Plaster was especially proud of his Native American Choctaw heritage. As a young man he served proudly as a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps. Being able to serve his country was one of his most shining achievements. He believed in serving God, his country, his family, his church, and his community.
Most people know Raymond fondly as Pastor Plaster. He began his pastoral ministry in 1962 and successively became an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God. He traveled for many years as an itinerant evangelist across the United States preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ both in tent meetings and churches alike. He pastored many churches in several states including California, Oklahoma, Oregon, Michigan, and Texas. He served in many capacities, including boards and committees to assist in the overall health of the church. In 1984 he began his pastoral ministry at the Granbury Church of God in Granbury, Texas. This was the highlight of his life and ministry where he and Linda faithfully served as Senior Pastors for 31 years. Under their ministry several building projects including the beautiful sanctuary were completed and the church continued to grow. Following their semi-retirement they became Pastor Emeritus of the church and began serving in a supporting role to his spiritual son and daughter, the present Lead Pastors, Brett and Shelena Quillin. Countless lives were won to the Lord by Pastor Plaster’s sacrifice to carry the gospel. He loved God with all his heart and invested his entire life in seeing the local church body and its people grow and develop into strong disciples. He empowered and nurtured many spiritual sons and daughters. He leaves a lasting legacy of love and devotion to so many. He is a beloved pastor.
His fruit will remain. He has fought his fight and now he’s finished his race, there is now therefore laid up for him a crown of righteousness, “which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day” II Timothy 4:8.

Daddy my hero. You were so much bigger than life to me. Getting to run up the steps of the stage after you were done preaching to carry your Bible was such an honor for this little girl. You never know just how much you want to talk to someone until you can’t. My drive home phone calls to you have been missed so much. I know you have made it to your great reward and I can’t wait until I get to carry your Bible again one day. I love you my Daddy with all of my heart and I am so blessed to have called you Daddy.

Brother Plaster preached the word of God, he believed it, he lived it, he loved it and he shared it. Now he is enjoying it in its fullness. He was a great preacher who loved God, his family and his church family. He loved people and if you were his friend you knew it. He was a great encourager who inspired us all to live this life with the joy of the Lord and to never give up no matter what. He inspired us all with is dedication, devotion and determination to fulfill his calling to the ministry. He was greatly loved, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

All my prayers to his family I have so many good memories of Bro Plaster one that stands out is he asked the congregation if they had 200 people on a Sunday he would preach from the roof too, well he did and Pal Thompson provided a cherry picker and him and Sis Plaster went up to the Roof for him to preach ❤️❤️ Bro Plaster was a great man of God , he always had an ear if you needed him to pray or just to talk . He would even be behind the pulpit after open heart surgery and other surgeries I will truly miss him , hugs to his lovely wife Sis Plaster and prayers fir his whole family, he was a proud Dad Lee and myself will miss him❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦋🙏🏻

Daddy you’ll never read these words but others will. I need them to know what a good man you are. What a good Daddy to me you’ve been. You didn’t have to take my brother and I on, but you chose us. That decision was never lost on me. You were intentional about my development and spiritual growth. Many times I hear your voice when I read the Bible because of hearing your many messages. You trained me like a Timothy in the faith. You taught me to ‘remember who you are’ not who I thought I was, but what God said about me. You knew that eventually that would bring me into alignment with the Word that God had spoken. You showed us that life doesn’t have to be easy to make it. You proved that. You taught me not to live by my feelings but by faith. I’m still working on that. Thank you for investing in me. Thank you for never giving up on not only me, but so many others. I hope you were so surprised when you got to heaven to see so many people there because of what you did here on earth. Your life meant so much. I’m making plans to see you again one day. I know Jesus will be coming to get us one day and you’ll be in that cloud somewhere too. Save me a spot near you. My words will forever fail me to express my love for you, but even while you were here with me, I tried to make you understand. Maybe now that you’re there, you finally get it. You are already missed so much. There’s a void in the air in a way, and yet I can still hear you deep inside my heart still coaching me. Thank you for that. Thank you for being a soul winner Daddy. Thank you for caring that people were lost. Thank you for teaching us to care too. Heaven is better because your there. The Bible says where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. One of my greatest treasures is now in heaven so a very large part of my heart went also. Thank you for loving me better than I ever deserved. You’ll always be my hero. ❤️

Dear Paul Ray, Brenda, Shelly, & Raymond's family, Keep your wants, your joys, your cares, your fears, and your sorrows before God. You cannot burden Him. You cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children. The Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercies. James 5:1 His heart of love is touched by our sorrows. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds. He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. The relations between God and each soul are as distinct and full as if there were not another upon the earth to share His watchcare. Not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son. May the Comforter hold you each in His hands until your reunited again with your Daddy! I love you all!

I never met Brother Plaster but have heard so many great things from Shelly. She adored him. I would've loved to hear him preach. My thoughts are with you all as you lay him to rest and celebrate his faithful life to our Father. God bless.
