Ray’s faith was central to his life. He was a member of San Antonio de Padua Catholic Church.

Whether it was volunteering at community events, offering a helping hand to those in need, or simply providing a listening ear, Ray’s faith was evident in all that he did.
A loving husband to his wife, Sukey, of 33 years, Ray’s devotion to her was unmatched. As a father to Cris (Rachel), Claudia, Cynthia (Darrell), Kathy (Mike), and Gilbert (Samantha), and a proud grandfather to Kenny, Jacob, Wesley, Polly, Zeke, Isaiah, and his grand dogs and cats. Ray’s love for his family was immeasurable. His children and grandchildren were his greatest pride, and he found joy in every moment spent with them.
