Michael E. Ray Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Michael E. Ray of Topeka, Kansas, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Michael left this world on August 27, 2025 at the age of 72, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Michael E. Ray to show support.
As we bid Michael 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 Michael is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Eugene "Gene" Ray and Helen Ray (Smetana). He was also cherished by his parents and is survived by his four siblings, several nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and nephews, and a growing number of great-great nieces and nephews.
Contributions in Mike's memory may be made to the NAADAC Education and Research Foundation (https://my.naadac.org), supporting the health and vitality of individuals, families, and communities through the advancement of the addiction profession.
