Ray was born Tuesday, January 25, 1949 to the late Harry and Shirley Burns in Ottumwa, Iowa. He proudly served his country by enlisting in the US Navy. He served 9 years active duty and was stationed in California and Japan. He enjoyed his adventures while stationed in Japan, playing tourist. Ray graduated at South West Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. He pastored at Faith Fellowship Baptist Church in Fort Worth and also taught classes in Sunday School. He led the young marrieds group at South Cliff Baptist Church. He loved fellowshipping with those young seminary students in our home.
