Ray Jones was tradgically taken from us today, he was involved in a road accident in the early hours
of this morning 25.08.2007. He was going to be 19 on tuesday.
Ray had the world at his feet, he was a professional footballer playing for Queens Park Rangers and
involved in the England U-19 set-up.
As a fan of QPR myself i can confirm that this young kid had so much promise, he had one hell of a
future ahead of him.
Today we lost a star for the future but tonight he will be shining the brightest not just for
tonight but forever.
My thought and prayers go out to Ray's family and friends.
R.I.P Ray........you will be greatly missed.
--------------
Ray was a beautiful boy. He was a fantastic person, with a big, big heart.
"He was only 18 years of age and had his best footballing years in front of him. He was already
a hero amongst QPR supporters and he had the potential to go on and become a legend.
"I remember he was the star of the show in my first few weeks here.
"He scored the first goal of my reign against Hull City and then notched a typical Ray Jones
goal against Southampton a week later.
"He really did have the footballing world at his feet and the fact he can't go on and
fulfil the undoubted potential he had is a tragedy in itself.
"It's hit everyone at the Football Club really hard. The players are absolutely
devastated.
"Ray was one of the most popular figures in the dressing room. No-one ever had a bad word to
say about him and that for me says everything you need to know about Ray Jones, the person and the
footballer.
"It's a tragic loss and our sympathies and condolences go out to his family and friends at
this awful time."

poem
when the day breaks without me
and im not there to see
when the sun sets in the sky
dont cry for me
think silent thoughts of special moments
that brings a smile upon your face
sit and talk with me a while
in an old familiar place
do not shed a tear
be sad or mourn for me
for my life was truely blessed
for the love you gave to me
you know i loved you dearly
and i wanted to live on
i had so much to live for
but dont think of me as gone
so when the day breaks without me
dont think we're far apart
for ever time you think of me
im right here in your heart. xxxxxxxxxx
