A little about Ray Allen Kyzer:

Ray grew up in Lawndale, Calif., and went to Lawndale High School. At the young age of 17, he met Donna Oatley. Together, they moved to Superior, Mont., and were married May 24, 1998. Ray was a construction worker. He enjoyed history and taking tours at museums. Ray was a wonderful man who cared about everyone especially the elderly and children. He loved to travel and was always positive for trying new things. Ray loved his family more then life itself. He loved to have fun, easy to talk to and very outgoing.

His children, Raymond Kyzer, Doundie Caldwell, Chris Kyzer, John Kyzer, Kyle Beemer and Rebecca Garlinghouse; grandchildren Jesse Kyzer, Brinley Kyzer, Johnathan Caldwell, Neveah Caldwell, Symphony Caldwell, Christopher Kyzer, Jaylen Kyzer and Lotus Garlinghouse also survive.
