Ray J. entered into rest on Friday, September 11, 2020. Born in Darlington County, SC, he was a son of the late Lula Mae Winburn Boykin and the late Jack McCutchen Boykin. He gave his heart to the Lord in 1973 at Eastside Holiness Church where he was actively involved for over 30 years. He loved to share his faith with those he encountered and loved to help the elderly while he was able. He was a member of Faith Holiness Church and was instrumental in its founding. He began his career in the fuel and heating oil business when he was 15 years old at Lydia Fuel. He later worked at Coker’s Pedigreed Seed Company, then Williams Oil Company for over 30 years, and eventually retired from Hartsville Fuel Company. Ray enjoyed playing the guitar and banjo and collecting guns. He had a unique sense of humor that brought laughter to those around. His grandchildren were his pride and joy.
