He was proceeded in death by his parents Glen Clifford Gilson and Mary Ruth Sudweeks as well as two if his children, Terry Gilson and Marianne Baker.

Ray was a man of many talents. He served in the Navy, was an accomplished electrician and all believed he could “fix” anything. Of greatest importance in his life was his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ray faithfully served through his life and was the high priest group leader at his passing. All agreed however that his greatest talent was story telling. He shared his wonderful stories with all who would listen. Sometimes more than once. Ray never met a stranger and left every person he met a new friend. He made the world a better place and our world was a better place because he was in it. He will be missed.

A memorial service will be held in his honor on Saturday August 23, 2014 at 1:00pm at the Washington Parkway Ward, 1500 Ridge View Dr. Washington, UT.
