Ray John Dafoe Obituary

We are sad to announce that on May 21, 2025, at the age of 85, Ray John Dafoe (Thunder Bay, Ontario) passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Ray John Dafoe to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Ray farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Ray is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He is survived by: his wife Shirley; his children, Kerri Williamson (Gord) and Barry; his granddaughters, Kaitlyn (Evan), Ella and Mya Williamson; and his caregiver Joseph.

In his memory, donations can be made to the Dew Drop-In or Current River Churches Food Cupboard.
