For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

He accepted Christ as his personal savior at a young age and united with Greater Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Edward Ray grew up in Arkadelphia and attended Peake High School. He later enlisted in the Armed Forces having served in the United States Navy. He possessed a charismatic spirit and a cunning, yet pleasant smile.
