So sorry to hear this! My grandparents were Walt and Madge Keith, mom Sharon (Keith) Browne. I absolutely loved coming to church every summer with my grandparents. I feel like Ray was a huge part of my life growing up. May he rest in Peace with Jackie and all family and friends before him. God's blessing and comfort during this difficult time!

Ray and Jackie were great neighbors. We hit the lottery when we moved in next to them. The homemade goodies at Christmas were a bonus. Going to our neighborhood caucus (only in Iowa!) together was great fun. The kids and I send our sincere sympathies to Steve, Barb and your families.

My fabulous Uncle Ray was just an all around great guy. His faith, caring nature and bright spirit were second to none. But what I'll always remember most is his quick wit. He could always bring a smile and a giggle to any situation. Uncle Ray also married me and my husband on 8/10/91. What a beautiful memory. Love you Uncle Ray. You'll always live on in our hearts.

Sorry to hear about Ray’s passing. Layne and I spent time with Ray when he was at his mother, Rose’s, house and with Wally & Bev. We shared some great times with him in our earlier years.

Ray was a great guy to be around and will be missed by a lot of people. My family and I sat behind him in church every Sunday and you could hear him crack jokes and always tried to not laugh. If you didn’t have a smile on your face while you were around him you didn’t know him very well!! Sending hugs to his family!

I started going to church with my grandparents at the church that ray was a pastor at and I remember he always would start his sermons with a joke. I came back to the church full time when I moved to Grinnell 16 years ago. Ray and his family always sat in the pew in front of us and he was always making jokes. He will be missed a lot.

The Barnett family lived across the street from my parents while I was growing up and I babysat for their children a few times. They were a beautiful family. I am deeply saddened tonight to read of the passing of Revered Barnett. I send my condolences to Steven, his son with whom I have had some contact. You have my very deepest sympathy.

I went to church with Ray my whole life. He always sat in the pew in front of us. He was always really nice and would always crack jokes with me and my nephews and neice. When I was younger I accidentally sat in his pew and was getting mad at me as a joke. He was always a great guy to be around.
