So sorry for your loss. Ray was a good friend to my brother David Caldwell although I didnt know him personally. God bless your family.
I agree Ray left a great legacy in his sons. He worked hard, played hard and loved hard. He will be truly missed. Until we meet again I will remember you as my happy go lucky, always smiling little brother. Inspirational, brave, courageous, a fighter to the end, are only a few words to describe a great person. My deepest sympathies go out to Deanne and his boys whom he loved more than anything.

Ray fought a long and hard battle. Now he can rest in the arms of God. My prayers and condolences are with Deanna and her family.
May the promise found at Isaiah 25:8 bring some comfort in the death of Ray Wright. "He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces." Just imagine, no more pain and grief due to the death of a love one! By means of the Kingdom that Jesus Christ taught us to pray for at Matthew 6:9,10; God is going to remove sickness, old age and death from the human family. God's original purpose for the earth being a paradise will be realized.
Uncle Ray was a great man and he will be greatly missed. He always had a kind word to say to everyone. His heart was as good as gold. Rest In Peace.
Ray will be missed by many, always had a quick grin and a comforting way, we were honored to call Him Friend. Please please call upon us for anything, we will be continually praying for you all, may God wrap you up with His comforting arms.
We love you Guys!
