Dearest Deb & Kyle, Ray was another brother to me. He & Jim arrived on the DAP the same day. I'm sure Jim was there to help him cross. I want you to know I'm here for you. "He's been raised up on eagles wings, born on the breath of dawn, and made to shine like the sun, and taken back into the Great Creator's hand." Love to you both.

Ray your smile and genuine kindness have never been forgotten. What great memories growing up in Walsenburg with you and your family. You will be remembered, treasured and never forgotten. My prayers are with your wife, son, parents and siblings...God Bless You All

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Harriman's untimely death. I remember him very well because back in 2005 and 2006 I substituted for him and covered his history classes when he had a football game. As a teacher myself, I could see that he was a very good teacher and I saw how his students appreciated and respected him just by the way they treated me. It's a teacher thing...we just know when another teacher is excellent or mediocre. He will be remembered forever by his students. I know he touched many lives deeply. He is the kind of educator that we all aspire to be. He is now with Jehovah, God who loves him very much. For God, we are always alive. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with your family.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear love one. May God comfort you during this time of grief. Matthew 11::28-30

Words can not express the heavy heart that i have for you, Deb and Kyle along with the rest of the family, Ray will be greatly missed by so many he was a very awesome man that this whole community had the honor of knowing love you guys

Deb & Kyle, Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. We feel so privileged to have had the honor to work alongside your husband and dad during our years in Cortez. Our memories of Ray cause us both to smile, as he was genuinely a man of warmth, honesty, integrity, passion for life and most importantly, expansive humor. Ray had the ability to help those around him believe in themselves. His passing will be felt among many, many lives he touched in his special "Ray" way. All of our love and prayers for strength at this challenging time🌺🌺

I'm so very very sorry to hear about the sad news of Ray. He was a great high school friend with the best personality so fun to hang around. What a gentleman! God Bless the Harriman family with love and many prayers!

Dear Deb and Kyle, I was so shocked to hear the sad news of Ray's passing. My arms surround you. What a good time you shared with Ray. Loving thoughts, Jody

We were shocked and saddened to hear the news. I will always remember the great times we had in high school. A great friend that will be missed but never forgotten.

Ray lived his life to the fullest, the way he wanted it. His precious family (and dog), his students, his friends, his mountains. I never saw him without getting a big hug, never saw him without a smile on his face. You all have laughs that are unforgettable and you make others laugh/smile with you. We all have so many precious memories - and we can't recall any "bad" times. Carry his love in your hearts - as he will always carry yours. Give his dog extra pats and treats. He needs them too. Love you guys! Mary

Rest in peace my friend

Deb and Kyle, I am so sorry for your loss. Growing up Ray was always one of my favorites, funny and caring. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deb and Kyle, Words can't say how sorry we are. Ray was a great man loved by many in this community. All our thoughts and prayers are with you. Robert & Audra Fahrion

I only met Ray once in Walsenburg last year when he stopped by to see Miss Gerry. He was so friendly and I felt like I had known him all my life, that in part due to his wonderful mother and her wonderful stories about her family. My heartfelt prayers go out to all his family. Miss Gerry and Mr Ray, I love you and you are in my prayers. May God hold you all in his hands.

Deb and Kyle ... We are sorry to hear about Ray. He was a fine man and our school and community will deeply feel his loss. We extend our condolences to you and your family.

Our hearts go out to Deb, Kyle and family in this very sad time. What a loss to all of you, his friends, students and community. We will miss his warm smile and passion for teaching and life. Love, Barbara Grist & family

Deb, Kyle and family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Words do not suffice at these times. You shared much joy in your time with Ray. I hope those memories give you great comfort in this sorrowful time. We are all thinking of you. Susan and Pat Harden Panama, Central America

Ray was as outgoing and accommodating a human being as I ever knew - a friend to peers and students alike! Just like the famous cowboy pundit Will Rogers, Ray "never met a man he didn't like!" My life takeaway with Ray was that I always felt better after I spent time chatting with Ray! My deepest sympathy to Deb and Kyle. Gordon

I am so sorry to hear about Ray. He was a pleasure to work with at the High School and as I have read, he was happy. Ray will be missed and when thinking of him it will always be positive. So sorry for your loss.

We are so sad to hear about Ray. Thinking of you and wishing comfort during this time of sorrow. May loving memories help carry you through your sadness. With Sympathy, Don & Mary Sue

Deb and Kyle. Ray was one of the finest teacher and coach that I have had the privilege of knowing. He made all those around him better by seeing the love he had for all people and for life itself. He was a true friend who could always be counted on no matter what. God only made so many like him will be missed dearly. Rest in peace Ray. Our deepest condolences. Bob and Vicki

Deb and Kyle and all the family. Words cannot express the shock and loss of the news on Tuesday. As Ray's student teacher advisor and friend, it was a joy to watch him discover the joy of teaching children. We are sending our love and strength. Ramond will be missed ...
