Ray was a devoted husband, father, Papi/Grandpa, brother, and friend whose life was rooted in faith, love, and service. He shared nearly ten years of marriage with his beloved wife, Lizette, building a Christ-centered life filled with creativity, adventure, and deep love for their blended family.

Known for his strong work ethic, generous heart, and quick wit, Ray found joy in reading his Bible, riding his Harley, fishing, the outdoors, a perfectly grilled steak, and cheering on the Seahawks and Mariners—especially when shared with his grandchildren. He was deeply proud of his nearly 13 years of sobriety, trusting God each day with his journey.

While we grieve today, we do so with hope. Ray lived to honor God, and we trust in the promise that this is not goodbye. Ray’s life was a testimony of faith, redemption, and love. We thank God for the gift of his life, and we look forward to the day we meet again.
