Ray was a member of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church and retired from Reynolds Aluminum after 39 years. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and was a member of the Copperhead Hunting Club.  He was the kind of man that would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He grew gardens to share with family, friends and neighbors. He loved his farm, his tractor and his cattle, sitting in the swing, ice cream, and Western movies; but most of all he loved his family.

Pallbearers will be Gary Creasy, Joel Brown, Daniel Bevis, Brody Sockwell, Wayne Landers, Hunter Smith, Jay Black and Danny Blevins.
