Ray Lanford 63, passed away in his loving daughter’s arms at home on Wednesday, December 4th, 2024. He left us the way he would have wanted, not suffering. He was a kind, dedicated, loving father, brother and uncle. He was a life long electrician that absolutely loved his job and worked at it faithfully. He is survived by his daughter, Rachel Lanford, sister, Tammy Lanford, nephew, Ryan Mouw, and niece, LeDawn Landers, many cousins, Aunt’s and Uncle’s. He is preceded in death by his mother, Betty Jean Grandon (Mama Jean) and father, Wilfred Ray Lanford. He will be very deeply missed by all who knew him and got to cross paths with his life. This was all so very sudden, if you would like to donate or send flowers feel free to do so by reaching out to his daughter, Rachel, at RLanford2@myyahoo.com

Sending hugs Rachel, my heart hurts for you & your family.
I’m so very sorry Rachel for yours and your family’s loss. I know that you were the twinkle in his eyes, the love y’all shared was just so beautiful! I love you and my prayers are with y’all during this time!
RL you will be missed, you were an amazing friend doing a time in my life when I was starting over. You showed me a world where I could be myself and that I was so much stronger than I believed. I will always love your friendship and miss you. Thank you for being there when I need to learn to stand in my own. I can’t believe you are gone but I know you are with Mama Jean watching over Rachel and all of us. Now you and Mama Jean can watch the Saints and Cowboys together. Love you forever my friend.
Rest Easy Pops!!!
Stay strong Rach

Ray was always so sweet to me when we would come visit grandma and grandpa Lanford in Hobbs when we were little. I especially remember his sweet smile and his twinkling blue eyes!!
So sorry for your loss!!
