Dennis Ray was born in Waxahachie, Texas, to the late Jerry and Geraldine (Belha) Horak. He was a graduate of Waxahachie High School, class of 1969, and a graduate of Southwestern University, Georgetown, Texas. He was the owner of Boyce Feed & Grain and Boyce Cotton Gin, was passionate about agriculture and had a strong work ethic. Dennis rarely missed a day of work til the very end. He always said "you have to put two feet on the ground and get going." Dennis was always in charge, and there was never a doubt about where you stood with him. He was a strong supporter of the Ellis County Youth Expo, having served as co-chair during the days when it was known as the Ellis Royal Stock Show. He enjoyed attending the sale each year and looked forward to purchasing animals from the young people of the county. He was an Eagle Scout and was quite proud of that accomplishment. Dennis was a member of The First United Methodist Church in Waxahachie where he had served on various committees through the years. He was also a member of the Texas Grain and Feed Association and had served several terms on the board of directors. Dennis was preceded in death by a brother, Jerry W Horak. Survivors include his wife of 20 years, Beverly (Smith) Horak; daughters: Maudie Cox and her husband, Paris, Allison Manly and her husband, Chad, and Bekah Roebuck; grandchildren: Sterling Tomlin, Spencer Cox, Kate Manly, and Cash Manly; brother David Horak and wife, Debbie; sister, Kathy Wright and husband, Ricky; sister-in-law, Marsha Horak; his in-laws, Jerry and Mary Helen Smith; sister-in-law, Christy Morris and her husband, Kirk; brother-in-law, Blaine Smith and his wife, Karen; many nieces and nephews; his little Min-Pin family; and many wonderful, loving friends, as well. Dennis had a favorite quote from Babe Ruth and lived by it to the end...It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up." Waxahachie Daily Light: 12/1/2015...P20
