Rayvon Denson, also known by many in the Bronte area as Tamale Ray, 
passed away Friday, September the 28th, 2015. 

He was known by folks from far and wide. Truckers coming through 
delighted in getting to Bronte just so they could purchase some of 
his wonderful, homemade tamales. People that returned to town 
for a visit would go to his house if they didn't find him out on 
the corner to purchase several dozen of the treats. His happy 
personality and big wave will be missed by all.

Rayvon was born October 7th, 1946 in Mineola, New York, to 
James and Annie Lou Denson. He married the love of his life 
Ana Torres in 1994, with whom he shared 21 happy years.

He is survived by his wife, Ana, brothers James and wife Viola Denson 
of Louisiana, Carl and wife Teresa Denson and Dwight and Anita Denson 
of Mineola, New York, sister Merlin Denson of South Carolina, son 
Chris Denson and grandson, "little" Rayvon.

A memorial service will be held in Ballinger, Saturday, October 10, 
at 10 am at the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom hall on us Highway 67 W.
