The family of Ray Goss, Jr. sadly announces his passing November 10, 2025. He was born on September 27, 1948.
Ray was predeceased by his parents Raymond E. Goss, Sr. and Edna O. Briggs.
He is survived by his family Henry E. Goss, Alice Montgomery/Pete, Kenneth Goss/Joyce, and Joni Snyder, and their families.
We truly have lost an angel here on earth who gave his heart and soul to animals and friends. "Having had the pleasure of spending hours recently with Ray, it reminded me what a kind and loving human he was." After his passing the neighbors and friends have stopped by and said how sorry they were and how missed he will be.
There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Thanks to all the angels who helped Ray when he was in need. He talked of you fondly. God Bless.
