The Ray Family

February 27, 2021

Brannon and Michelle Ray have three sons: Jordan, Jackson and Jacob. Their Smile-A-Mile journey began when Jackson, their middle son, was diagnosed with cancer.  According to Michelle, “When SAM got Jackson, they got the whole family.” From family camps, on-therapy camps, sibling camps, family events, support groups and the Hospital Outreach Program, the Ray family has participated in almost every aspect of Smile-A-Mile programming. When Jackson decided to apply for the EAGLES Program at Auburn University, SAM was right there cheering him on, and providing glowing recommendations. The family lives in Cullman where Brannon works with Doyle Real Estate. Jordan is a student at Auburn where Jackson will join him in the fall!  Jacob is in the 7th grade and Michelle, in addition to keeping the family running, is a registered nurse.
