After high school, Ray went to work at Hood in Wiggins and did several things there. He did all he could to provide for his kids. He is remembered as a very loving person that cared about his family and friends more than anything. Ray had a thing for kids, and loved his and all his nieces and nephews. In his spare time, Ray loved riding four-wheelers and dirt bikes, throwing the football with his brother, or somewhere outside. He wasn't one to be cooped up in the house.
