Ray loved music and received a BS degree from Presbyterian College with emphasis on vocal performance. He really enjoyed playing the piano and singing. When you mentioned animals, you got his attention. He loved animals, especially his cat “Prince”. He enjoyed going to Diamond Lake to feed the ducks and reading was always a great escape.
For a short time, he was a driver with Wilson Logistics and enjoyed traveling the United States. He was later employed as a Med driver at Barney’s Pharmacy.
His kindness and his smile will forever be in the hearts and mind of his husband of almost three years: Dr. Osmond Paschal-Orr; his mother: Sandra Orr; father-in-law, Albert Lee Paschal, Sr.; mother-in-law: Ruthie Mae Paschal; his siblings: Roosevelt Jones, Demetrius Orr, Amanda Russell, Demetria Orr; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Sean Russell, Timothy Paschal, Verena Jones, Jennifer Paschal and Angela Paschal; devoted friends: Eric Odam and Andre Norman; several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Davis Funeral Home, 725 Beech Street, Louisville, GA is in charge of arrangements for Mr. Ray Orr III-Paschal
Existing as one's authentic self is an endeavour made difficult by those with closed hearts, especially in the South. Ray challenged those hearts through indomitable spirit and voice, and an infatigable disposition. We performed together a handful of times for concerts in Georgia and the Carolinas, and these are some of my treasured memories of which Ray is core to. He is dearly missed; cruelly taken far too soon.
Ray was a bright light in our choir life at St. John. Every time we would meet he would give me a big hug. I always enjoyed his company, along with Julio, when we went on our choir retreats. He had a beautiful baritone voice and we all will miss that. I pray that his family will take comfort in knowing that he was truly loved by his St. John family. God blessings on him and his family.
So sorry for the loss of your loved one. My prayers are with you and your love ones.
I am so sorry for your loss! May hope and peace be yours today and always! Keeping you and family lifted up in prayer!
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
