Born on March 7, 1953, in Panama City, Florida, he was the son of the late Clifford and Frankie Laura Thomas Raffield. Raised with strong values and a deep sense of responsibility, Virgil carried those qualities with him throughout his life.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army, demonstrating dedication and honor during his time in service. Following his military career, Virgil continued his commitment to serving others through his work in civil service. He was employed as a supervisor at Robins Air Force Base, where he earned the respect of colleagues for his leadership, work ethic, and steady guidance. He remained in this role until his retirement.

Outside of his career, Virgil found his greatest happiness in the time he spent with his family. He was a devoted loved one who valued connection, loyalty, and togetherness. He also enjoyed the peaceful pastime of fishing, often finding relaxation and contentment by the water.
