Ray Samuel Harkey
August 30, 1944 - July 16, 2021
Ray Samuel Harkey was born on August 30, 1944 in Durant, Oklahoma to the late Clement and Helen Harkey. A building contractor by trade, he married his best friend, Deborah in 1968. Together, they raised a family, and built a life of faith, hope, and love until he departed this life for the next on July 16, 2021. A faithful servant of the Lord Jesus, he led his family to the Lord, while serving as a Sunday School teacher, and helping to build several churches along the way. One of the great privileges of his life was to travel around the world, where he had the opportunity to tell people on four different continents how much Jesus loves them.
