Just learned that Ray Privitt died. He was the Camera Flyer for Team America of the Texas Skydiving League.

Natural Causes.

I've attached a couple of shots I took a while back.

The word is that he was not feeling well, so he went to the hospital to get himself checked-over. They were running some tests, but Ray did not make it through the night.

Blue Skies Ray.

I can't believe you are gone. I enjoyed seeing you and hearing your passionate views of TSA and its purpose.

Thanks for your friendship and laughter.

I only met Ray a few times but he was always smiling and always had time to talk, he tried to loan me his rig in Houston the last time I saw him but it was too big. I will miss him. Blue Skies my FRIEND!!!

I met Ray about a month ago in San Marcos. He really believed in TSA. I had a chance to make one jump that day and Ray shot the video. Somebody yelled for him to hurry up or he was going to miss the load. He came running to meet the plane with a big smile on his face. Ray did the video and we all laughed at the screwed up exit.....he seemed like a guy that loved life.

I'm stunned. Just talked to Ray a couple months ago.

Blue Skies, Ray. You were truly one of the best. The world is better because you spent time here.

Thoughts and prayers for your beautiful bride and family.

Thanks for the skydives. We will all miss you, Ray.

Haha everytime I jumped with Ray as video, I remember him having to run to the plane as well. Not on time, but always smiling. My prayers are with Ray's family.

Deb and SDH. I am so sorry for the loss of this great man. He is the most polite and generous skydiver I have ever met.

Ray, you will be missed. Thanks for shooting video for me and my friends at the TSA events and on other skydives. Thank you for sending me copies of video too. I will miss your company, friendship, and generous nature. Blue skies my friend. Jacob

Ray was kind enough to stop what he was doing and show my 13 yr old son how to pro pack! probably why he was late to the plane.

It is yet another sad day in our community. As we all age, some of us drop off from one world into the next. Ray will be free of his earthly confines and be in freefall forevermore.

A smile one can not forget.
I remember packing his reserve and 2 days later he shows up at my house with a bottle and an a tub with parachutes in it....and yes that smile!!!!!
Ray gave me the courage not to give up on my personal quest...thanks brother its our secret!!!
