Hello from Minnesota to Darcy and family. I am so grateful I had some time to get to know Ray. I distinctly remember the last time I hung out with him- he waved me over to come out and hang out in his garage and we just sat and talked. He made me feel so welcome. Mostly I remember how he just seemed so happy; he beamed as he talked about his family and his grandchildren. Sending Love, I hope this message finds you all well.

Darcy and family, I was shocked to hear about Ray's accident. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Although I didn't know Ray in the later years, Darcy, I remember him from our graduating class of '73 and I remember him always being kind and friendly to all. He sounds like he was a most amazing man, husband, father, grandfather, friend, uncle, brother. I pray blessing on you and all your family and pray that you find comfort and peace knowing that he is now with his Creator. There are no words I can express to take away your pain. Please just know that my thoughts are with you Darcy.

Darcy, thought of something that makes me smile. When I was working @ Westwood Mkt. Ray was working up on the hill on some apts. He befriended a cat n when he was throught with the job he did not want to leave the cat there so when he stopped by the store that nite he ask me if I knew anyone who wanted a cat {he had her in the truck} so guess who ended up with the cat. Thanks Ray

There are no words to express the loss of Raymond on you and your family or our sorrow. Our two sons have so many wonderful "Uncle Ray" stories, from riding on ATV's to fishing in the ocean that we will forever review. Ray was always ready for an adventure and he always welcomed us and our sons. He was always so strong about family and that is so apprent in your girls and grandkids. We will miss him always, but his legacy will live on in your beautiful family and we will always remember his kind and wonderful ways.// Owen and Donna Boe

Dear Darcy, Maren, Melissa, Nate, Payton, Julian, June, Joe, Denny, Lyn and the entire DeMello family. Words cannot express the depth of shock and saddness that this brings. Ray was and still is, in our hearts, a truly unique and genuine person. One could not help but notice the love he radiated for his entire family. He has left a lasting impression on all the lives he touched and those who got the chance to meet and hang out with him. He will be missed but not forgotten. May your loving memories of him bring you some measure of comfort.
Very truly yours,

Dear Darcy and family: We will always remember Ray as someone who simply radiated cheerful energy. Whenever he was around, good things were bound to happen. He was such fun at family reunions. A man of his energy and devotion to doing good, whether for family, friends, or the whole community, leaves a very, very big void behind. The shadow of his influence is both long and wide, and will continue to affect many people for good down the long years ahead. You'll all be in our prayers and thoughts now and in the days ahead.
Craig & Roxanne Patchell and family.

It was first grade, St. Mary's Elementary School, where Ray started honing his catholic school survival skills: he charmed the nuns with his easy smile and his fancy bolo tie. It's his smile we'll remember and his affable way of drawing us into the party or the game or the adventure. My love to his family. We're here for whatever you need, even weeding, Darcy. Do not hesitate to call.

Darcy, Maren, Melissa and family,
I know it doesn't help to say but I am so sorry. We recently found pictures from a trip up to Ruth Lake almost 20 years ago with all of you along with the Fords, Meyers and Hasslers. Ray had his normal bright smile and was being goofy with all of the kids. He was always smiling. Together you have raised 2 wonderful daughters and now Peyton and Jules that have tons of memories of what it means to have had an awesome dad and Grandpa. Hopefully those great memories will help in the rough times. You are all in our thoughts. Love, Gary and Tish Osborne

To all of the DeMello family and specifically those I know: Darcy, Maren, Nate, Payton, and Julian, I send my deepest condolences and want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I was always so touched by the loving twinkle in Ray's eyes when he looked so adoringly at Payton when he picked her up after school. She would be so happy to see him. I loved watching Darcy and Ray with Payton and Julian at the HSU basketball games, baring witness to such a strong family. I am so glad Payton and Julian got to know their grandpa and his love will live on with them always. His love is his legacy. Marliese Tollner - Garfield School

Darcy and family, my heart is breaking for you. The shock of losing someone you love so very much is a heartache that seems to take over your life. The only thought that I can give you is knowing Ray had a wonderful life and his love will surround you forever. What you two had, some could only dream about. 35 years in which to have memories to last your lifetime. Hold onto those memories, they will get thru the darkest hours to come. I believe our Lord needed an expert house builder as our heaven is getting more and more of our loved ones. Know that Ray will always be in your heart and thoughts. Know that all your friends are here for you with their prayers and thoughts and hugs. I love you Darcy, you are family and I am here for you anytime day or night. I am honored to have known Ray from our many fun times together. You are in my heart and prayers love you all and God Bless you. Susie

Dear Darcy;
Ray seemed to define what a happy life should look like. That, will live on, in all who knew him. It was obvious he adored you, and you adored him. His loss feels like one of the saddest ever and we grieve for you and your family beyond measure. Please turn to your many friends if the burden of grief feels too great. We all have extremely fond memories and good stories about Ray that will surely bring forth a smile, because that's who he was.

Darcy, Maren, Melissa, and Nate,
I was so sorry to hear about this horrible tragedy. Ray was a wonderful man, father, coach, friend, supporter; everything that you could ever ask for. I have so many fond memories of him coaching soccer, cheering our teams in basketball, giving me rides to practice, and the list goes on and on. He was a wonderful part of the community and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I know that nothing can diminish your pain, but take heart in the fact that he truly touched the lives of many and genuinely made a difference in the world. The best evidence of this is in the loving family that he created and nurtured and in Maren and Melissa, the wonderful girls that he raised. I hope that you can reach out to the community in your time of need and know that those of us whose lives were touched by Ray are deeply saddened by his death.
Love to you all,
Marne

August 2, 2011
Dear Darcy and Family,
When Bailey and I learned of your loss, our hearts became quite heavy. Over the last two months (since moving in next door) I enjoyed the privilege of swinging by Ray's garage and chatting with him once in a while. He always made me feel so welcome to invite myself into his space. Ray had this certain indescribable presence; it seemed clear that his life must be full of wonderful people.
It was probably one week ago today that I last talked with Ray, he was out in his garage so I swung by to say "hello." Before I knew it I was sitting on the tailgate of his pickup truck feeling like I'd known this fellow for years! We discussed everything from ice fishing in Minnesota to the different varieties of artichoke plants. He had a kind of charming charisma that was completely and uniquely his own. That afternoon when we had finished talking he sent me back home with a HUGE filet of salmon!
What a guy, so friendly and considerate. The gentle confidence with which he seemed to carry himself had quite an impact on me. I feel very fortunate to have known your Ray, if only for a brief time, and I hope to carry the kindness I learned from him with me till the end of my days.
Most Sincerely,
Benjamin Dale
