Ray Ogden

On August 8, 2019 at 8:40 pm, Ray Ogden gained his heavenly wings and soared, pain free and healed, to the awaiting arms of his family in Heaven. He has flown from this earthly existence to the pearly gates of his Father's home. He took his last breath as he was wrapped tightly in his wife's embrace and he flew as only angels can. Ray is Home at last and free from earthly pains and heartaches but his beloved wife, Julie Ogden and his only son, Randy Ogden are left devastated by the loss of such a large, irreplaceable and important part of their lives. Please pray for them and his surviving siblings as they begin this new journey without him. Godspeed Ray Ogden. You are so dearly missed already. Fly, my little bird. Fly until you land among the stars and don't worry, I'll help watch over your wife until she's back by your side once more. We love you.- - -
