It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of our beloved, Richard Douglas Ray.
For over 30 years, real estate wasn’t just a career for Richard, it was a true passion and a genuine calling.
Richard was dedicated to his clients, recognizing the importance of his role in creating lasting memories for every individual he was fortunate to work with.
Richard had a whimsical way with connecting with clients, oftentimes those clients became friends even feeling like family. Richard took great pride in guiding people through one of the most important decisions of their lives, always leading with honesty, patience, and love.
Beyond work, Richard was deeply devoted to our family, our fur babies and our friends. Richard always showed up, Richard always listened, and Richard loved with his whole heart. Those who knew Richard: know how generous he was with his time, his knowledge, and his kindness.
Richard’s love for real estate allowed him to connect with others, which meant everything to him. Offering advice, creating a sense of stability, and finding a place to call home.
Thank you to everyone who trusted, supported, and were a part of the Richard Ray journey.
Signing off from his final closing, with gratitude for every client, friend, and memory along the way.
All our love, the Dowd-Ray Family.
