Ray attended Coweta County Schools and was a member of the East Coweta High School class of ’93. He was an active member of the All Souls Church of God in Newnan, where he served in various church ministry areas. He was the small business owner of Restoration Mobile Detail, serving Coweta and Fayette Counties, while also working at Kason Industries for the past five years.

He leaves to mourn his wife, Marquenet Potts Smith; parents, Rev. Willie and Mrs. Lillie Smith, children, Rayneka Smith (Michelle), Reynardo Smith Jr, Marquez Smith, Damion Langford (MaryAnn); and special nephew, Willie Smith III. Siblings; Keturah Smith, Lydia Smith-Pollard (Greg), Dana Smith & Willie Smith Jr (deceased). His extended family includes brothers; Antonio Stargell, Roderick Stargell, DeJuan Stargell (Takeisha), Jarvis Stargell, Wayne Revell, Keandre King, Antonio Barkley, Yarrii Barkley, Justin Barkley and sister, Keeshundra King.

Ray also leaves a plethora of supportive relatives; Sisters-in-law, Gloria Potts (Tony), Annette Potts (Leo), Renita Potts, Jackie Dunn (Willie), Melissa Bemette (Mack), Kimberly Potts (Eugene); Brothers-in-law, Quilliam Potts, Richard Potts, Juan Potts (Cynthia), Curtis Potts, Monti Potts (Marquita) and grandchildren Bryson Langford, Damion Langford Jr, Jakobi Langford; aunts Shirley Wilson, & Barbara Green; uncles, Freddie Green (Loretta) & Harry Green; God-Mother, Brenda Barkley and a host of nieces (Raven & Chelsea), nephews, cousins, and friends. He was preceded in death by his loving grandmother, Gracie Green Mitchell (Drew) and cousin, Willie Jerel Stargell.

It has been said that Goodness is love in action, love with its hand to the plow, love with the burden on its back, love following His footsteps who went about continually doing good.

John Wesley’s Rule challenges us to:

Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.

May Ray’s Goodness in life, define him. May we hold him in our hearts and allow his kindness and the memories of his smile continue to light up the room, for he truly went about, doing all the good that he could
