Raymond Donald Bauleke

Raymond Donald Bauleke, age 67, of Le Sueur, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2025.

Raymond was born on December 3, 1957, to Elwood and Diane (Dahn) Bauleke in Le Sueur, Minnesota, where he spent most of his life. He graduated from Le Sueur High School in 1976.

Raymond was a man of the outdoors. He found joy in hunting, fishing, and trap shooting—pastimes that brought him both peace and connection with the people he loved. He was known for his sharp aim, his quiet sense of humor, and his deep appreciation for nature.

Raymond worked hard throughout his life and was proud to call Le Sueur home. He valued time spent with family and friends and leaves behind many fond memories shared around bonfires, in the woods, and by the water.

He is survived by his three sons, Travis (Sam) Bauleke of Madison Lake, MN, Craig (Christina) Bauleke of Mankato, MN, and Zach (Hannah) Bauleke of Cleveland, MN, and dearest friend, Jan Harmon. Grandchildren, Kyle, Emilee, Erica, Adria, Veda, Lilly, Dalton, Marshall, and William. Siblings, Patrick (Debra) Bauleke, Karen (Gary) Dunnik, and Jeff (Dede) Bauleke.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elwood and Diane Bauleke.

A Celebration of Raymond’s life will be held on July 20th at the Caribou Gun Club, with visitation from 4 till 7. All are welcome to come and share stories, memories, and a final farewell to a man who will be deeply missed.
