Rest in Peace Ray Ray. We talked about us being in the Marines and the times at the various nite club’s I worked with his brother in law’s, The Rendon brother’s, who were his wife Benita’s brother’s. My wife Sara and I send love to the family. Semper Fi Ray Ray.
Ray came to the Academy to teach and came across as a good guy, dedicated to the DPD. As the years progressed with the department Ray’s dedication and willingness to step up and help was one of his true attributes. A good guy all the way around.
A great guy who will be missed by all who knew him. RIP, Brother.
Ray was a great guy and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Ray’s family and friends.

Rest in Peace Brother.
Dearest Ken Rest in Peace and fly high with your wings. You will be missed by many.
Ray was one of a kind. We spent many happy days together at Dist. 3. I remember him giving up his own time at Christmas to completely decorate the outside of the station with his artistry and painting. May God grant comfort to the family during their time of mourning and beyond.
R.I.P. Ray.

I had the pleasure of working with Ray in District #3, morning shift. My first day Ray calls via radio and invited me to coffee. I didn’t know who he was, we had coffee and he has been my friend ever since. Ray was quite the policeman and a hell of a person. Thank you Ray for your friendship the other Ray.
I was standing around before my very first shift at Dist 3. Hands in my pocket. A bit nervous. I didn’t know anyone. Ray walked up to me, introduced himself and gave me a handshake and hearty welcome to my new world!! I have always remembered that. I remember the night he got shot and how relieved we all were to find out that it was not a life-threatening wound. The thing about Ray that I will always remember is his smile and good-humored nature. He was always willing to help a friend, or a citizen in need. Rest In Peace Ray!!!
Enjoy the Glory of the Lord my precious Uncle. Thanks for being an example to all of us and proving that anything we want in life is possible with hard work and perseverance. Until we meet again, I’ll hold our conversations and late night messages close to my heart. You will be missed, but never forgotten! My family and I salute your service as a Marine, commend your time serving and protecting on the Police force and we are grateful for the love you gave us all of our lives. Love you Uncle Ken…forever and always!

I worked around you for many years Ray.
You were one hell of a cop.
See you on the other side.
Semper Fi.

Ray was a wonderful person to know & work with. Gone but never far from our hearts. Ray always had a big smile with his hearty greeting & his wonderful cologne scent lingered after leaving the office. Venita & family thinking of you all during this difficult time. Our deepest condolences 🙏

Uncle Kenny you will be missed so very much. My brothers and I are so saddened to hear of the news, auntie and my cousins please reach out, we love you deeply and are always here for you. We will never forget the kindness my uncle showed us every time we visited Colorado, I wished we had more time together. Stay strong !
My cousin, who was a great man in many ways. You were a man of honor. Thank you for your service in the military and as a public servant.
I remember you always keeping your humor. I wish we would have visited and had more time. A person doesn’t realize that life goes by so quickly. You were one of the best and will be missed.
With all my love forever.

Derek and Crystal, so sorry for your loss. I continue to pray for your entire family as you and they go through this difficult journey. May God Bless You All.
Dear Venita,
So very sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. May God send you comfort and peace.
Ray was my classmate, first class of 1979, and I met you thru Ray a few times. You are both great, caring people.
So sorry for the loss to you and your family.

Rest in Peace Mr. Ruybal You shined with such passion! Always Go Broncos!! Kindness and compassion to us kids. Great Dad! Firm and loving 🥰 Prayers of comfort and peace to Mrs. Venita , Danette and Family.
I had the privilege of working with Ray both in District 3 and the Gang Unit. What I remember most was hit personality. He always seemed to have a smile and a good word. Which wasn’t so easy at the end of People’s Fair. Ray was one of the good guys and will be sorely missed.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to the family.
Kenny meant so much to so many people. My grandma Hope would often talk about how proud she was of her nephew for serving our country and protecting the community.
Recently I got to know Kenny and his daughter Danette, we worked together on some DNA research to accurately identify our family history. It was a great pleasure to work on this project and because of that Kenny’s legacy will live on forever.
Sending prayers and condolences to the family. Rest in peace dear cousin.
RIP Mr.Ray my thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. God bless
Rest in Peace our Brother
Always in our hearts and memories
Prayers for you and your family and beloved Ray💔
Great memories of Ray are forever. A man of honor and itegrity.
