Ill never forget the good times we had, at work and various outside get togethers. The Ray J I knew was always kind, polite and very pleasant to be around. Pam & I often play the Video of our Wedding Reception at Bobby Magees ; you did for us back in June 1989, along with the many photos you took for us. You were a Professional and a Man that I call my friend. God is now looking over you.

I worked with Ray for many years at NI, in QA. He was a Good Friend and had a Great calming personality. He was our Photographer/Videographer at our Wedding Reception at Bobby McGee's, in La Mesa, CA. back in June 1989. He took beautiful pictures & Video, gave us the pictures/video and an enlarged textured framed portrait of us as a GIFT...He was a Great man and will always be remembered, especially when we look at the pictures and video...Thanks again Ray (RAY J)...You are now GOD's photographer...John & Pam Schunn

To the Family of Ray J. we send our whole hearted condolences. I worked with Ray in Quality Assurance for many years; he was not only a Great QA, but a Great person...He would do anything for anyone if he could. In June 1989 at Bobby McGee's at Grossmont Shopping ctr. He took all of our (PAM and me John) wedding pictures and a Beautiful Wedding Video, which we still watch every change we get. He did it as a friend, at no cost, also giving us a large Portrait of Pam and I, which hangs on o bedroom wall; also at no cost...He will always be in our prayers...God be with all of you; he is already with my friend Ray J...

Brother O' Brother
how you walked with a style,
how you reigned with height,
how you shined with your smile.

Brother O' Brother,
when you spoke with intent,
when you shared with your heart
when you played so content.

Brother O' Brother,
why you gave it your all
and your sweat and your strength,
God's pride held you tall.

Brother O' Brother,
there's a void in our day,
a spot in our heart,
and then God will say:
I needed him now, for his giving and doing,
for Heaven is vacant of his talents still showing.
So I say to you children be aware of My desire,
That he will be with you again, as for now a bit higher.

Brother O' Brother,
we will see you again,
though years may divide time....
.....until then.
With a never ending love, your sister and brother, Mike and MahrKay

Kristofer, Ryan, your father was a beautiful man with the kindest heart I have ever known. I am sure your hearts are broken, and I know you will miss him terribly. Know that he touched many lives with his kindness and thoughtfulness, and you have a Dad that you can be so very proud of. I send my deepest sympathies to you both.

Ray, you worked hard and always wanted to help others. You were the light in Mindy's life. You were very appreciative when others wanted to help you. You are gone way too soon for those of us you leave behind. I will miss you playing Fantasy Football with us. I will cherish the memories I have of you. I am happy you are finally pain free from your back. We love you Ray
