Eli Ray Obituary
Eli was a happy baby that brought sunshine to everyone he met. His eyes lit up when someone came into the room and he would give a big smile. Eli had a smile to the moon and back. He loved his family and especially enjoyed watching his brother and sister play. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
Preceding him in death is his great-grandfather, David Christopher.
Eli is survived by his mother, Allyssa Christopher; father, T'Juan Ray; sister, Heaven Edmond; brother, Xavier Ray; his GiGi, Tiffany Christopher; his Pop Pop, Justin McQuay; grandpa, Timothy Perkins; grandpa, Travis Collins; grandma, Kenyhatta Ray; godmother, LaLa Humphrey; and his aunts, Sarah, Destiny, and Emily.
A memorial service will be held at Temple Baptist Church in Jonesboro on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. A visitation will be held prior to the service from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.
