One final time. . . . Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, scuse me. . .
Love ya brother!

Ray, we are going to miss the times that you and Joanne would come to our home and spend the day and how you enjoyed the country life and said how peaceful and quiet it was. We are so grateful that we got to share those times together as a family, and how you treated my son Anthony like he was your own. What a blessing! Our dear friend, you will be missed dearly. 

Dad #2… where do I begin? The day I met Ashley at work was the day I discovered my second “ dad”.  There was never a dull moment with you. Your heart was filled with so much love, sympathy, and never a judgmental bone in your body. You took me and Quinn in as your own. I’ll forever miss our dinner/breakfast/ice cream get-togethers. You’re now at peace. Watch down on us in this crazy world. We love you, dad. 

Love,
Amanda and Quinn.  

Beautiful smile and heart your are gone way too soon. I am so sorry for your wife and family.  I’m thankful you are no longer suffering and are with loved ones. I will miss our conversations and laughter!   Love you my friend

Beautiful smile and an even more beautiful heart, your are gone way too soon. I will miss our conversations and all our laughter.  I am glad you’re not suffering anymore and that you are up there with all your loved ones.  I will miss you every day until I see you again. Love you my friend

I love you so much honey. You are no longer in pain but you left us too soon. Being married to you were the best times in my life. I love you and I always will.  Love and hugs and kisses your wife Joanne Garland 

 I remember the day we discovered we were living in the same apartment complex after not seeing each other since HS. So glad we were able to spend the time together we did and the many conversations. RIP my friend your contagious laughter will be missed ❣️


Ray , I enjoyed, the many days on facility transport with you.  You will be missed my friend

One of the happiest days of Ray and Joanne's lives. I am so blessed to have been a part of your union as husband and wife. You two were a beautiful couple. Thank you so much for bringing joy, love and happiness into Joanne's life. I have so many memories of the years we worked together at the jail. You were truly one of a kind Ray. You will be missed my friend. 

Ray Ray was a good man. From working side by side and cracking jokes all the way to playing softball on the fields. You will be missed. Rest easy my friend. 

I have known Ray for many, many years.  We had some great laughs.  I kept in touch with him up to the present.  He will be missed.  He is not in pain anymore.   Prayers to his family.  

He was always a Great person to work with.. We laughed a lot at work but always got the job done !!!  You left us too soon Ray!!  Aiway will remember THE SNAKE !!

Ray from the times on the softball field to the times at work, we always had some good laughs. RIP my friend 

Ray and I met soon after I started working at the jail.  He helped in my training those first few weeks.  He never had an unkind word and treated me with respect as a fellow officer.  I know the world has lost a remarkable human being, but Heaven has gained a mighty angel.  

I love you daddy with all my heart and I will miss you terribly. You were taken way to soon but I know you are at peace and are no longer in pain. Daddy's girl until we meet again.

I am so sorry for all of us. We all loved him. We will miss very much. We spent some great times together over the years. 
We love you Ray! Rest In Peace. 

Miss you my friend. Rest In Peace. Say hi to my lovely wife Krista up there. 

Your life was a Blessing, Your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. My deepest condolences, love and prayers goes out to Family and friends. 

My brother left us at far too young of an age, but he still leaves behind an impressive legacy. My deepest sympathies go out to friends and family.

Love and prayers to all the family and friends of uncle Ray

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. He is gone way too soon and will be missed by all who knew him ❤️ ❤️

Always a smile on your face... never but kind words,I'm sure you are brightening the Heavens above, You will be missed by many..
