Charles Ray Kight

Charles Ray Kight, 77, of Drummonds, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 31, 2022, just a few days after the passing of his wife. Friends and partners since they were teenagers, Ray and Betty were married for 60 years. Some love stories transcend time and space, and knowing Betty, she was right there to welcome him Home. He was a beloved husband, father, brother, and grandfather, an avid outdoorsman, carpenter, and the truest example of a good, Christian man. Mr. Ray was a member of Munford Church of Christ, and a United States Army veteran. A hard-working and generous man, he always had time to lend a hand to family, friends, and strangers alike. He could fix anything with a good set of tools, and loved to hunt and fish. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, his words were full of wisdom and truth. He loved his family dearly and loved to cook for them, especially a good steak or a rack of ribs. Mr. Ray is loved and will be missed beyond measure. He is survived by his two daughters, Amy (Charles) Holland and Kim (Keith) Dollahite, and two granddaughters, Emily Holland and Teagan Dollahite; three brothers, Kenny Kight, Mike Kight, and Dale Kight, many nieces and nephews, and a multitude of friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife and soul mate of 60 years, Betty Sue Kight; his parents, Mancel and Georgia Kight; his brother, June Kight, and his sisters, Lois Roberts and Frances Hanks. Funeral services for Ray Kight will be held at Covington Funeral Home on Wednesday, January 4, at 3pm. Visitation for friends and family will begin at 1pm, until service time. Interment will follow in Poplar Grove Cemetery in Drummonds, where he will be laid to rest next to his wife.
