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."
Sincere condolences from a Glasgow Rangers fan
I only met you once at a recent party Ray, but from that brief meeting I could tell you were a very special person.
Someone loved by friends and family alike, and your Mother was so proud of what you had achieved at QPR.
A rising star plucked from us far too soon, my sincere condolences go out to your family and friends and to the families of the others taken so tragically on that day.
Allways missed but never forgotten,happy birthday, God bless R.I.P

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
