| Published in Today's News Herald on Jan. 27, 2021 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Bradley Ray entered into his eternal home on Jan. 19, 2021. He was born Nov. 12, 1928 in Jackson, Tennessee, the son of Estle Ray, a farmer, and Alma Long Ray, a homemaker. He was the second of seven children. Brad and Toni Ray moved to Lake Havasu City in 1970 from Washington, D.C. They visited friends while on vacation in this "hot" desert and instantly fell in love with its beauty. They never regretted the move and Lake Havasu City was their home for 50 years. They were true pioneers of LHC. Brad was a city bus driver in Washington, D.C., but found his career passion as a new and used car salesman until his retirement in 2007. He managed Del Lago Motors from 1971 to 1982 when he joined with Bradley Ford until his retirement in 2007. He was trusted, honest and greatly loved both personally and professionally by this community and his co-workers. He served the Lord faithfully. He was an elder, greeter, encourager, and teacher at Lakeview Community Church for 40 years. He recently completed his life's work on the New Testament Book of Revelation in book form available on Amazon entitled "The Rapture Versus the Second Coming of Jesus". He never met a stranger. Many lives were blessed by this man who lived to serve his Lord. He is survived by his son, Dale Ray and his wife, Marianne; his daughter, Julie Ray Meyer and her husband, Gary; by four grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; and by three sisters. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 59 years, Toni Ray, in 2007. Bradley Ray never built a skyscraper or accumulated great wealth but lived a life that strengthened and blessed multiple lives and truly built a city by a beautiful lake in Arizona. Bradley Ray's celebration of life will be held at Lakeview Community Church at 1699 Acoma Blvd. W. in Lake Havasu City at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 30. The public is welcome. Arrangements were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory. |
