Raymond Ayala
November 8, 1972 ~ August 12, 2021
Raymond ‘Ray’ Ayala was born on November 8th, 1972, to his loving Parents Ray and Lita Ayala. He was raised alongside his sisters Charlene, Ginger, and Crystal in Huntington Beach.
As a young man, Ray was very passionate about sports and played for Huntington Beach High School. He was known to be a massive fan of The Los Angeles Dodgers, and Oakland Raiders.
Ray was a hard and dedicated worker, who first started his career in Injection Molding alongside his father. He had great passion for the industry and would love to tell his family and friends about the projects that he would be working on. He took great pride in his work and would talk to anyone who asked about it.
Ray had many passions in life, but there was nothing in this world that he was more passionate about than his daughter. Julianne Nicole Ayala was born on April 12, 2007, and Ray’s life would never be the same. His love for her was so strong that it radiated and filled the room whenever you were around him. Ray was a force of nature, determined to provide for Julianne and give her the life he felt she deserved.
Ray was well known to be the best person behind the grill. His dream was to one day open a BBQ restaurant. He enjoyed listening to oldies, while drinking a cold beer, and being surrounded by his loved ones, telling jokes and sharing stories. As a loyal Dodger fan, he always enjoyed going to Dodger games with his daughter. He had a long-standing tradition of eating at The Pantry before every Dodger game, as he used to as a child with his parents, and now his daughter.
Ray recently moved back to California from Texas to be closer to his daughter and mother. He was excited to be able to spend more time with them. Ray was a man who loved deeply and the world is a different place without him. He will be forever missed.
Ray is predeceased by his father Ray Ayala. He is survived by his mother Lita, daughter Julianne, and sisters Charlene, Ginger, and Crystal.

My big brother!! My heart is aching! As a little girl, I was always so proud to have a big brother. I never doubted your love for me! You showed me in so many ways. It was hard for us in your life, but I hope you see my love for you and how it never left and how it never will. I know you are with Dad and you both are probably BBQing and sitting on that beautiful farm he talked about the one with lots of green grass. I like to think he greeted you with his huge open arms and a big smile when you entered heaven. I’m so sorry this happened to you! But I know your baby has the best angel on her side. Love forever, your little sister, Crystal
