He is preceded in death by his parents, August and Rose Matracia, and brother Mike. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Barbara (Suttmiller), children Gina (Kevin) Briney, Eric (Kate) Matracia, Matt (Ashley) Matracia, and Nick (Beth) Matracia. His four grandchildren Emma, Jack, Austin and Bailee. Brother-in-law, Jim Kolp, and sister-in-law, Joyce Matracia.

My uncle taught me to ride a motorcycle when I was 14 years old. He let me ride up a small dirt hill and I almost fell off while my grandmother watched in horror. Ray was laughing hysterically because it really was funny and I had a great time.
