Jody Russell Ray's Obituary
Jody Russell Ray was born on December 8th 1961 in Murray, Utah to LeRoy (Sonny) Ray and Barbara Cox Ray.
Russ suffered with debilitating illnesses over his lifetime, but he kept a positive attitude and loving manner toward his family and his working family within the Ft. Mojave Indian Tribe.
Russ cared for the environment, and had great respect for animals, but most of all he had a deep devotion to his family.
In 1998, Russell received a bachelors degree, with honors, from the University of Utah in environmental studies and geography.
He is preceded in death by his father Sonny and his sister Jamie.
Russ is survived by his mother Barbara, and sisters Sandy Tapp and Jenny (Anna) Ray, Uncle Rodney Ray, nephews Colby, Aaron and Hunter Tapp, as well as numerous cousins and friends. Russ will be sorely missed by us all.
A Celebration of Life will be announced for a later date.
