Ray was a 1975 graduate of Emma Sansom High School and began his career insulating houses shortly after. He was a local business owner of Quality Insulation with over 50 years of experience in his field. He was man of faith and enjoyed visiting local churches around Etowah County. He was a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather who spent most of his free time spending time with his family. His sole purpose in his later years was to be a positive role model for all his children and grands. He never missed a sporting event, a dance recital or a birthday celebration. He loved Alabama football, and you could find him near a TV when the game was on.

Ray is preceded in death by his mother, Ramona Hawkins. Sisters, Sonja Rousseau and Mary Hawkins. Brothers John Willimas, Ronnie Williams, Roger Williams and Billy Hawkins.

He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Leatha Williams, daughter, Jamie Williams (Larry), son Ryan Williams (Cherri). Grandchildren; Emily Collins (Braxton), Alec Timmons, Jayda Williams, Mallory Williams and Tanner Dempsey. Great-Grandchildren; Kashton Dixon and Emery Collins.
