He was preceded in death by a brother, Barret, and a son, Randy. A native of Dyersburg, Mr. Ashley practiced law in his hometown beginning in 1952 when he joined the family law firm founded by his father in 1903, now known as Ashley, Ashley and Arnold. From 1974-6 he served as Tennessee Attorney General. Mr. Ashley was awarded a football scholarship to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he played and lettered one year before he was drafted into the U.S. Army Air Corps. After his discharge in 1947 he attended Southwestern College (now Rhodes College) where he graduated before entering law school at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Mr. Ashley was known for mentoring young lawyers and encouraging their interests in consumer affairs and the environment, among other areas. His focus throughout his life was always helping others and he instilled this quality in those young lawyers with whom he came in contact. The attorney general's office under his leadership was instrumental in halting the Tennessee Valley Authority's planned Hartsville nuclear plant upriver of Nashville and the Atomic Energy Commission's proposed Clinch River Breeder Reactor, both on environmental grounds. The office also was instrumental in reforming the Tennessee Claims Commission to make it more consumer-friendly. An avid reader and swimmer, Mr. Ashley also was interested in civic affairs and politics. He was a co-founder and co-owner of Dyersburg's first commercial television station. Ray Ashley lived a life of great accomplishment though he always said his greatest accomplishment was convincing Betty to be his wife.
