To the Ray Family,

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Your family has held a special nostalgic place for me and while I wasn’t as close to Colin growing up as his brother he was still very much a part of that.

I always loved when y’all would come out to the San Diego area and we would get an opportunity to connect on your vacations. I can’t even begin to explain how nice it was for me to have y’all bring that connection to growing up here in TX while I was out there.

One of my memories of these times was in OB when Colin was eyeing my car and I asked if he wanted to take it for a spin. I still remember how he lit up all giddy and we both hopped in as he took it around the block. It seemed to make his day and I’m glad he was able to get some joy out of it.

I’m not sure what else to say, so I’ll offer my condolences and prayers, and just conclude that I hope we get a chance to meet up and connect again.

Greg, Chris, Ryan and Betsy,

Upon the news learning of Colin’s passing, Byzar and I have been saddened and emotionally numb at the same time, beseeching the Lord for all members of the Ray family.

Oh yes, we will miss seeing Colin’s bright glowing face, his piercing eyes and hearing from him, how he is doing and all his future plans.  

Those plans were cut short for Colin on earth, for only our Lord Jesus knows.

May our Christ’s  precious abounding grace supply you, and be experienced and manifested to you all, in this great loss of  your son, little brother, friend and our brother in the Lord.

Dear Greg , Chris, Ryan, Betsy and sweet girls, it is with great love and sadness that we want to express our gratitude for Colins' life. You must've been so proud of him. I was fortunate to be his aunt. He had a way of bringing joy into our relationship by just being the sweet, gentle, kind, and good natured person he was. He will live on forever with His savior and God. That brings much solace. Our hearts ache for the day we can reunite to be together always.

Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, mourning, or crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. We will not forget what a blessing Colin was.  

eternal brother in Christ Jesus

I thank our Lord for the time I shared with Colin in Anaheim California in 2014 as we served together on a construction building project (a training facility) concerning God's move on the earth today. Even in the short period of two months serving together on the project, we got built together in Christ. Colins person and character that I got to know and love in Christ, as we served and preached the gospel with others.

This proved a real experience and enjoyment as we contacted people in the name of Jesus Christ. After the project Colin went back to Texas and I stayed another month in Anaheim California and then returned to London. We continued to enjoy the lord together in fellowship over the years.

The last time I spoke to Colin was in September when he called me on Sunday morning while I was in the church meeting in London. He asked if I can keep him online for the meeting and he invited sister Chris his mum to join to the end, which we enjoyed. Then I received a call from sister Chuneng (a mutual contact) concerning my dear brother in Christ Jesus , who is now with our Lord in paradise. I was deeply saddened at his departure but I am now at peace for I know he is with our Lord Jesus until we meet again in Glory.
