David Harold Ray

David Ray, a man of wisdom, warmth, and quiet strength, passed away too soon at the
age of 67. With his presence alone, David had a way of drawing people in-whether
through easy conversation over a glass of wine or shared laughter with friends on the
porch, often with a cigar in hand. He lived fully and generously, traveling the world with
his beloved wife, Carol, savoring new experiences and honoring the deep roots of his
cherished Scottish heritage.
David was a proud and devoted father to five children-Jerritt, Calli, Matthew, Weston,
and Travis-who adored him and will carry his legacy in the ways they live and love. He
showed up for people-not only as a companion in life's joys and struggles but as a
steady presence and source of guidance for all who knew him. He was also a loving
grandfather to Jackson, Sofia, Liam, Harvey, Shepherd, William, and Parker, each of
whom brought him endless pride and joy.
David was proceeded in death by his parents Travis and Doris Ray as well as his sister
Ginger Ray. He is survived with deep love by his wife Carol, his children and
grandchildren, brother Randy and a wide circle of friends who treasured his generosity,
humor, and the quiet grace with which he moved through the world. David was more
than a father and friend-he was a source of light in the lives of many. His presence will
be missed profoundly, but his spirit remains alive in the hearts and stories of those he
touched.
