Maurice Raymond "Ray" McKeon Jr

We are so heartbroken with and for Mr. Ray´s entire family! Our hearts go out to each and every one of y´all! Mr. Ray was such an inspiration to me and my husband! 30 plus years ago, Mr. Ray approached Troy and I to teach 3rd grade Sunday school! At first we were not interested in leaving our young couples Sunday School class because we absolutely loved our class and teachers, Dan and Arienne! Mr. Ray simple said "Pray about it and God will lead us!" (I have goose bumps telling this amazing story and btw, Kaylee always loved when I was sharing stories of Jesus and got goose bumps! She would come closer to my desk to see and touch them)! We did just as Mr. Ray asked of us! Troy and I both prayed together and in our separate pray times! Oh boy, Mr. Ray was so incredibly right! God answered us both and it´s because of Mr. Ray that we answered God´s calling on our life! I´m so incredibly thankful that God blessed us with the opportunity to serve along side of Mr. Ray for over 30 years! He was an awesome mentor and inspiration, not only to us but to so many! Mr. Ray and Mrs. Sharon are so loving and kind to everyone they came in contact with and it shows in their children and grandchildren! My husband also loved and enjoyed cooking along side of Mr. Ray every month for the men´s breakfast for over 20 years! Mr. Ray knew how much I loved his sausage gravy so he would always save some for me! Oh how we love and adore this amazing family and will continue lifting them up to Jesus as they navigate through this very difficult time! With all our love, Troy & Melanie

Mrs Sharon, Tracey and Shannon. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts are with you during this time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Lots of love for you.

Sharon, Tracy and Shannon I am so sorry to hear of Ray´s passing. He loved you all so much but his body was tired. You now have two beautiful angels watching over you. Praying for your family.
