MAJOR
RAY J. MENDOZA
April 12, 1968-November 14th, 2005
Ray Mendoza
was a true American Hero & one of the finest men that
The Ohio State University has ever produced. Raymond “War
Hammer 6” Mendoza was a man that never knew how
to quit and he lived everyday to make a difference. Ray
is one of the greatest people that I ever knew and I am
blessed to have been able to call him my friend.
My love and prayers go out to his beautiful wife Karen
and their wonderful children Kiana and Alex. Ray put his
family, friends and his loyalty to our country first and
always put himself last. He will hold a special place
in our hearts forever, our hearts being his family, his
Alma Mater, his friends and especially all of us at Hammer
House.
Ray choose to stay and fight for our country and because
of that a great man was taken from this world. We will
miss you so much Ray and thank you for being such an amazing
friend to me for all our lives. I love you always Brother…
