Publish in a newspaper
Ray is survived by his three children: Tony (Ashley) Staley of Live Oak, FL, Adam (Lindsey) Staley of Crawfordville, FL, and Michael (Andrea) Staley of Lake City, FL; and his grandchildren: Kale, Kobe, Alli, and Tyson. He also leaves behind his siblings: Doris (Abe) Thomas of O'Brien, FL, Iva Staley of Live Oak, FL, Earl (Roxanne) Staley of Live Oak, FL, and Carl (Marianne) Staley of Lake City, FL, along with countless friends and extended family.
Ray spent most of his life in Suwannee County, where he was a constant presence in youth sports, coaching and encouraging kids to do their best. He was always ready to jump in when needed, whether it was fixing something, coaching a team, or helping a neighbor. Ray's kindness and generosity will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
