Ray Dean Barnhardt passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 18th. He had spent his day working in the garage and then came in to cook dinner for him and his wife. He left the table to get dessert and suffered a massive coronary. Ray was a truly unique soul. After serving three tours in Vietnam, he married Ramona fathering  and raised four children.  He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, uncle, son and brother. He was bright, industrious and never met a project he couldn’t beat. He loved fiercely, lived bravely and had a ridiculous sense of humor.  His sudden loss has devastated his family, his church and his community. He was dearly loved by many. The family asks for your support during these difficult times in helping his wife, Ramona, with the ever growing expense of burying her husband of the last 50 years. With immense gratitude, we thank you.
