Our beloved Ray was not only an incredible human being, but also an amazing Husband, Father, Brother, Son, Uncle, and Friend. His love and beautiful soul touched every single person that crossed his path. His smile and laughter would light up every room he walked into, and his heart illuminated our lives with bliss. One of his greatest gifts was the ability to find humor in the most mundane life circumstances. His selfless acts and humbled personality reminded us all to never lose sight on what truly matters. Unknowingly, he inspired us to always be the best version of ourselves. For Ray, family was the most important aspect in life. He shared an incredible bond with each and every family member and friend.
