Ray O. Breeden

Ray O. Breeden, age 80 of Maryville, passed away on May 19, 2021. Dementia claimed another victim today. Dementia is not victorious however, as it did not steal the love we have for our Dad. He fought hard until the bitter end. He is now at peace, reunited with the love of his life. Dad was not a man of many friends, but he loved his family, and he never met a chocolate chip cookie he didn't like. He loved to fish and enjoyed watching sports. Dad also loved his country and was a Vietnam Veteran. He could fix anything and if he couldn't, you might have witnessed a few expletives being thrown about. Left to grieve his passing are his daughters, Patricia Harrison and Brenda Muzyngo as well as their spouses Steve and Ron, two of the finest son in laws any man could have hoped for, who attended to any of his needs no matter the day, time, or reason. Ray also leaves behind three wonderful grand daughters - Kristen Gorley (Nick), Jennifer Bradburn (Josh) and Katerina Caudill. Additionally he has six great grandchildren.(WHEW!) The family would like to extend their gratitude to Brookdale Sandy Springs ALF (who loved and cared for him in spite of his quirkiness), Rain Tree ALF, Caris Hospice and to all who sent their love and prayers for our Dad and our families. Services will be private, but friends of the family may reach out or make a donation in Ray's honor to the Alzheimer's Association.
