He was born and raised in Fort Worth, the only child of William Thomas and Marilyn Johnson Evarts. Ray graduated in 1963 from Poly High School and in 1973 from UTA with a degree in architecture. He spent his career in pre-cast concrete and marble & granite. He married Sandra Ann Meredith September 25th, 1970 and just celebrated their 50th anniversary. Ray was an avid golfer and a long time member of Glen Garden Country Club, where he was often found leaving chips short or throwing clubs in the lake. Ray was a faithful member of both Poly Baptist and Southcliff Baptist churches. He was a loving father to Kayla Hughes and Amanda Wood (Stacey), cherished PopPop to Jackson, Hattie & Maisie, and is survived by sister in law Connie Grabeel and niece Meredith Page.
