SUMMARY: A tragic house fire in Lefay County has resulted in the deaths of Ricky and Kathy Ray, who were disabled and unable to escape the fire. Firefighters were forced to abandon the attack due to the intensity of the fire, and the couple passed away at the scene. Their neighbors are in shock, describing the Rays as special people who were a joy to be around. Their son revealed that they were about to celebrate 51 years together in April. The fire was so intense that it caused significant damage to the house and a truck parked outside. The community is grieving the loss of the couple.
