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."
I still cant believe you are gone. no matter how near or far you are you will always be a star..Will miss you
My Heart Goes Out To All Your Family & Those Who Knew & Loved

A Sad Loss
Ray - I have been following your career since you were a youth player. One reason being that a few years ago I was reunited with my birth mother after being adopted - and found out her name was Raye Jones! As a life long QPR and with you sharing the name of my birth mum naturally I have closely followed your progess. After you scored the winning goal against Cardiff I rang my mum and said 'Mum - you're never guess who scored the winner for QPR tonight!'
Ray - you bought many a smile to my face. RIP
what a sad loss
When a young person dies it is always tragic, It is made even harder when they have a special talent.Remember the good times and how talented he was.No one can ever take that from him.
Rest in Peace xxxxxx
Heaven's Gain - Our loss
My 7-year old son starts training for QPR next week. If he scores a goal, he wants to deidcate it to you and your memory. A brief but memorable life in the blue and white hoops that you obviously wore with pride. Thanks for those important memories Ray Jay.
Our loss here is definitely heaven's gain. 1 - 0 to them.
R.I.P Ray
On angel's wings you've flown away,
To be with GOD at peace today.
Like angel tears, down falls the rain,
Never to walk the earth again.
With wings that will forever glitter and shine,
You'll be around us for all time.
Standing by us when we need you most,
Guiding our way when we are lost.
Your light shines on us, like the sun's rays,
While we're still here we'll count the days.
Until we are reunited & together again.
Though the pain and sadness will slowly fade,
Your memory will live on for all that you gave,
Will be remembered through our history.
Passed on through those in your family.
They will tell of all the love you brought,
To all of us and the lessons you taught.
The good advice that will never get old,
The jokes, the laughs, and the stories you told.
Though you are gone, this is not good-bye,
We know you'll be waiting, in that castle high in the sky.
:(

R.i.P. Ray. go find my dad and my brother. we were bought up supporting QPR and ny dad and bro were still supporteres till the day they both died. I still love to watch them play and win. Maybe you was one of the team members who came to tidworth a few years ago and played against my husbands regiment. Guess what, you beat them hands down. I have a lot of loved ones up there including my son. Go find them and have some fun mate. My love and thoughts are with your family. Blow kisses on the breeze for them to catch and cherish. xxxxxxxx
