This is a cenotaph he is not buried here, this was created by his mother Flora as a place to pay her respects.

He was born July 21, 1952 to Ramon and Flora Castillo. Ray was born, raised and died in Springerville. He loved and served his community as a member of the Springerville City Council for 10 years. For 28 years, Ray headed up and played in his own country western music band, "Ray and the Sunsets." Anyone not knowing his name would immediately recognize him when the band name was mentioned.
