Raymond Clyde Voight

Raymond Clyde Voight Jr., known to most as Ray, was born on April 16, 1957, in Houston, Texas, and passed away on February 16, 2026, following a heart attack.

At the age of 17, Ray joined the United States Navy, an experience he carried with pride throughout his life. After his service, his outgoing personality and natural ability to connect with people led him into sales, where he worked with cars and mobile homes. One of the roles he found most meaningful was helping families achieve the dream of homeownership through down payment assistance. Later in life, he became a self-employed handyman and a true jack-of-all-trades, known for being able to fix almost anything. He continued working with his hands until he was forced to retire after losing his leg.

Ray lived his life guided by faith and the belief to never give up, a lesson he often shared with his children and those around him. He loved being around children and dogs and often joked that he never planned to grow up. Family meant everything to him, especially his grandchildren, who brought him great joy. He cherished gathering with family, sharing stories, laughter, and bits of wisdom wrapped in humor. Ray will be remembered for his generous heart, his listening ear, and the laughter he brought into the lives of so many.

He is survived by his loving wife, Judy Lackey; his daughters, Amanda and her husband Jared Cavender, Raydean Voight, Tina and her husband Tim Peña, and Ashley Voight; and his sons, Thomas Voight and Bradford Voight. He is also survived by his brothers, Stan Kisto, Don Aamodt and his wife Rosie, and Bradford Voight; and his sister, Lisa Clifton and her husband Bobby. Ray was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Voight Sr., his mother, Barbara Kisto, and his son, Corbin McNutt.
