Left to cherish his memory are, his son, David Hewitt and wife Michelle, daughter, Jamie Salz and Eddie Hatch, grandson, Cole Johnson, and granddaughter, Payton Salz.

I have known James Ray since elementary school. He was truly a very special friend to me and I will remember our fun times forever. His many friends greatly admired his strong work ethic and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him. My sincere sympathies to his family and friends in the loss of this unique and memorable man.
