Seventh of twelve children born to Ernest C. & Mary E. (Spitzer) Kuykendall. Ray worked as a welder and foreman for Broadway Metal Works and also did a lot of volunteer work. He was a U.S. Navy veteran and a member of Zion Mennonite Church, Broadway. He enjoyed hunting and fishing.

Ray is survived by his wife of 64 years, Shirley; six daughters; 21 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and brothers Blaine and Ernie.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers Dorman, Bill, Hayes, Tom and Paul Kuykendall; sisters Leoda Abendschoen and Juanita Snoots; and two infant siblings.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Ray twice. I wish I could have spent more time with him.
