Ray was a classmate from Duke Divinity Class of 2012. I was blessed to sing at his and Krystle's wedding. He was always a preacher's preacher, scholar, and kind person. Ray loved God, his family (I remember him talking about his grandmother and mother), his wife-Krystal, and his children, the churches he pastored and God's people. He will be missed. Rest well Brother!
