Ray, I know you are making heaven brighter with your smile and kind heart. I am so grateful that our path crossed and we became friends. I just wish we had more time to create more memories. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. So long my friend, until we meet again.

I was just thinking about all the crazy times we had from California on the beach to TJ Mexico and cortez Colorado and Denver and Back to Arizona I miss you Brother 

May you feel the comforting arms of Jesus around you as you lay your son to rest.  Kathy,  I love you and am here for you.  Much love and prayers!!!

Our prayers and love go out to the Family, Kathy we are here for you in one of the most difficult times in a parent's life.  We Love you all.

And here is a picture of his cousin Tammy and me. We love Ray very much and he will be missed.

I wanted to share a couple of pictures of Ray’s  Aunt Cindy 

Ray can't believe you are gone. Very hard to believe I will never see your beautiful smile and dimples in this lifetime. I know we will see each other again beyond this world. When you married my daughter you became my son. Son I believe you are in a better place without pain or sorrow. I'm sure you drinking Captain Morgan with Larry and Hotdamn with dad. Until we meet again. Hugs 

I am the proud mother of our daughter Amber sextro.  It took Ray and I 3 states to meet,  so it was meant to be.  Even though we parted we remained friends We have a wonderful daughter and we will both miss her dad

Ray was there for me every day since his father died. He took care of the pool, my house, the yard and of course, me. We had fun going to movies or just watching television together. We were going to drive to KC, Mo and Texas to see family members but we didn’t quite make it.  He always made sure I was ok, told me good night and he loved me every night and I am going to miss him so much.  I love you son

Remembering the days( Ohio,1990) we worked together @ the Health Gym, all my band shows he came to support. But, my best memory was when he had to learn how to dance for a job....the Brother had two left feet..lol. But, he muscled through it & got the job. Soon after, He moved back to Texas. We reconnected in 2015 & oddly enough, he settled in my Home State of AZ...
Had plans to meet up in March 2019....
I will keep those plans😇...R.I.P my Ol'friend.

The time I helped you and Melinda move back to Arizona what a crazy trip that was I don’t know how we survived but we did and I’m so glad I did help you cause we had a great time gone to soon my friend gone to soon

Man you were a brother to me always helped me when I was down gave me a place to stay you had the biggest heart ❤️ and we are all gonna miss you so much I still can’t believe this is real I was just on the phone with you talking about how we where gonna be rich one day and be millionaires on a island 🌴 love you bro 

Ray was such a handsome young man and I always was happy to see him.  He had a beautiful smile  and that is how I will remember him.  Knowing he had left so soon with so much to do in life he will be dearly miss by those who loved him.  My prayers and condolences goes out to his family, but most of all to his Mother who was his rock.   May God Give her the strength to endure a great lost of a child. 

Loving prayers, 
Monica Kormos and Family

I have to add this one because it’s one of my favorites.
