Ray Childress

We are so sad for the loss of Ray. Our prayers are with his Family. He was a good person and we will miss him.

I love you. This is the time to lean on friends and family.

Ray,
We spent a lot of time growing up together as cousins- we were very close. You were like a big brother to me. I often remember how we used to sit around for hours and tell jokes. You were full of jokes. We would laugh and laugh for hours; we would ride horses and go on trail rides every summer. I would come spend time with you, Aunt Joy, Gene and Kenneth. I have so many memories of those great summers! I remember when you ask Debbie to marry you; you called me and were so excited. I told you that you could marry her, but I got to have the first boy. You laughed and jokingly agreed. Your children are a testament to the type of man you were. They are all really good, kind people; respectful , happy & full of life! I enjoy them as much as I enjoyed you!
As we grew up our lives became so busy, but I knew you were just a phone call away.
Thank You for always being there. You will be deeply missed...until we meet again.
LOVE YOU
Linda Carol

Ray was a fighting CB, had the faith to do all things in Christ. Even on his worst days he was better than most people on their best days. I will miss my dear friend. Ray will be standing watch in heaven over his family. He always went above and beyond in all that he did.
Ray loved his family with all his heart, mind and strength. He and his Sweet Wife were sealed in the House of the Lord along with their children.
I will miss Ray aka Gator, but know he will feel no more pain. I salute you for all your service. My life has been blessed because of Ray.
I pray for the comfort of Debbie and their children. May angles watch over and protect them until they are back with Ray,

Gene, Kenneth and family,
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of this. I have very fond memories of "Big Ray" when Joel and I were in school together. He was a giant of a man in many ways and I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for him. One of my favorite memories of him is when Joel and I were in a little garage band in high school. Big Ray asked us to play the rock classic "Iron Man". When he saw that we could actually play it, he had the biggest smile on his face and even did a little dance. Great memory of a great man. Peace be with you all.

To the Wonderful Childress family. David and I send our love and prayers to you. Brother Ray was a wonderful man and always was there when you needed him. He will be missed by all.

Love,
Suzanne and David McCallon
