He was born on September 6, 1932, in Decatur, Texas, to Walter and Hazel Rawle Cobb. Ray dedicated his life to serving God and sharing His message across many churches throughout Texas.

Throughout his years, Ray built a legacy characterized by hard work and an unwavering commitment to serving others. He instilled these values in his family and was an honorable man who dedicated himself to the well-being of those around him.
