William (Bill) Herman Ray Jr.

Bill Ray passed away on August 31, 2022 at Camellia Health and Rehabilitation in Claxton, GA. He was 61 years old. Bill was born in Warner Robins, GA on February 8, 1961. In his younger years, he attended school in Houston County. After moving to Cochran, GA during his teens, he graduated from Bleckley County High School in 1979. He was a Methodist by faith.

Bill held many occupations during his life so he made close friendships throughout the years. Due to his love of spending time with his grandparents, he moved to Claxton, GA, where he decided to settle down to remain close to them. Bill enjoyed the outdoors and hunting and fishing were his passions. Like his father, Bill also had a hobby of buying and selling cars. He also loved his pets. Bill was a loving son, grandson, brother and uncle to his entire family. He is preceded in death by his parents William Herman Ray Sr. and Mary Ann Ray.

He is survived by his brothers, Steven (Judi) Ray of Hagan, GA and Richard Ray of Kathleen, GA; Sister, Cheryl (David) Williams of Leesburg, GA; nieces, Brittney Walkey (Nathaniel Holt) of Winder, GA, Lindsey (Isaac) Johnson of Leesburg, GA; Nephew, Cameron Williams of Warner Robins, GA and Great-Niece, Saoirse Rose Walkey.

The family would like to thank Camellia Health and Rehabilitation, Claxton, GA and Affinis Hospice, Vidalia, GA for their support and care of Bill. A private family graveside burial will be at Oak Grove Cemetery in McRae, GA.
