Jamey Ray enjoyed the outdoors. Fishing with daughter, Cassie. Working in the yard was always something Jamey found relaxing. Camping and hunting were also something Jamey enjoyed. Jamey and his son, Aaron would take weekly trips downtown to look at the “Budda Stores” and when there was some down time, Jamey liked to be a “Leggo” engineer with all the children. Spending time with his family was very important to him. He was an avid reader and enjoyed quiet time.

 

Jamey Ray was always there if anyone needed a hand. He was always available (mostly with advice). Jamey Ray was a loving husband, father, son, brother and a wonderful friend to all. He will be greatly missed.
