Born on December 30, 1946, Ray was the son of the late Ray Nash, Sr., and Alma “Marge” Nash. He was a graduate of Steubenville High School, Class of 1964. Following graduation, Ray was drafted into the United States Army to serve in Vietnam.
Ray dedicated his career to Nash’s Mini Mart in Weirton, West Virginia. From helping his parents open the store to eventually owning and operating it himself, he devoted many years of hard work and dedication to the family business.
It was at Nash’s Mini Mart in 1973 that Ray met and fell in love with Vicki Mae (Heath) Nash, who would become his wife of 50 years. The two were married on October 30, 1978, and together built a life centered on love, family, and hard work.
Ray was a true family man who was always there for the people he loved. Known for his kind and loving nature, he took great pride in providing for his family and making memories with his sons. He especially enjoyed taking his boys dirt bike riding every weekend. These moments were among the many ways he showed his love for his family.
When he wasn’t working, Ray enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, boating, and water skiing. He was also a proud Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Ray was preceded in death by his parents, Ray Nash, Sr., and Alma “Marge” (Brandon) Nash.
He will be remembered with love by his wife, Vicki Mae (Heath) Nash; his sons, Ray William Nash III and Daniel H. Nash, both of Follansbee; and his sister, Joyce Ann Nash of Weirton.
There will be no formal services.
Ray’s request for cremation will be honored.
He will be cremated at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home – Crematory.
