Marshall Raymond (Ray) Rhoads ("Prunes") has reported to duty as of 9 a.m. July 3rd, 2021 on the streets of gold in his heavenly home, at the age of 87 years, 6 months and 9 days. As he strolled through the pearly gates the heavens echoed with a resounding WELCOME HOME MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!

Ray toiled this earth doing various jobs including serving in the Army, Oklahoma City fire department, pumping gas, and delivering propane.

Upon arrival in glory land, he was greeted by a host of loved ones awaiting his homecoming including his parents, Arthur and Ethel. Preceding him in earthly departure are his siblings, Glen, Geraldine and Wetzel.

Ray has temporarily left his Love of more than 54 years Kay and kids David, Shawnda, and Ronald and their spouses behind. They all look forward to a heavenly reunion someday soon!

Papa will be missed by grandkids, Corey, Jennifer, Hallie, Seth, Taylor, Mason, Jaclyn, Kale, Kaitlyn, Hartley and all of the great-grandkids too.

I suppose, as Dad looks down from his new inspiration point from the mountain peaks in heaven, he is still speaking faith and salvation into us all. May his legacy abound and many be touched by his testimony and faith in Jesus Christ the Lord!

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Prostate Cancer Foundation or the Tuberous Sclerosis Foundation.
