Kenny Ray Jr. passed away on March 20, 2016, at the age of 32. He was a firefighter, EMT-B, and a police officer. He was a loving husband, son, brother, and friend to all.

Kenny was a dedicated firefighter from an early age. Following in the footsteps of his father to serve the public, he participated in the Explorer Program at the Green Fire Department. Upon graduating from high school, he joined the fire department in his hometown of Lakemore, Ohio. He graduated from Stark State University in 2002, and in 2004 he was hired at Uniontown Fire Department, where he served out his career. His dedication and commitment to serve the public was accomplished when he completed the police academy in 2008. He was also a patrolman at the Creston Police Department at the time of his death.

In his free time, Kenny enjoyed fishing, shooting guns, and spending time with his beloved wife and their two dogs. When people remember Kenny they will think of two things: his love for pulling pranks and his unwavering loyalty to his friends, family, and the departments which he served.
