Rayford began his working career for Everett Patton in Griffin before entering his longtime career with Gold Kist in Griffin and then became self-employed through Gold Kist crop/land fertilizer with his own truck.

Rayford was an avid fisherman on the banks of a river only, no lakes or ponds for him. He loved having his family and friends over for an almost weekly fish fry. He enjoyed his friends and Moose Lodge Families and enjoyed dancing to the beat of any music he heard. In his later years, he enjoyed once again having his own garden and plowing the land even though he grew up working hard in the fields and crops for his father and Lanier Johnson.

Graveside services will be conducted Saturday, July 23, 2022 at 11:00 AM at Hollonville Cemetery.

Haisten McCullough Funeral Home, 1155 Everee Inn Road, Griffin is in charge of arrangements.
