Virgil Ray Stebbins

I am starting a fundraiser on behalf of a close friend of mine, Tabitha Gaulin. Tabitha's dad Virgil Ray Stebbins was tragically taken from us on February 19th. Ray was legendary in the local dirt track racing community, a local business owner, and played guitar and sang in his band 0'Dark:30. His death has come at a total shock to everyone and to many it just doesn't seem real.

Tabitha has survived such great loss in her young life that it's difficult to truly comprehend. Her mother tragically died from cancer almost 2 years ago, her sister died in a tragic car/pedestrian accident, and now her father Ray has been killed. She is now the sole surviving member of her family.

In Tabitha's own words "my dad was one of my absolute best friends and one of the few people I could really trust to tell it to me straight when I needed it. No one on this planet is as kind, caring, fun loving and happy to be living life as him. I will forever be so blessed from the things he taught me. A life time worth of amazing music and racing memories I’ll never ever forget. Learning to move forward alone without him isn’t going to be easy.

I hope you hold your families a little tighter tonight."

Money from this fundraiser will go directly to Tabitha and her husband Eddie to help them sort out Ray's final expenses, funeral costs, and other expenses to help them move forward from this tragedy. Ray's death is still under investigation and the family asks for privacy at this time.
