Friends, family, and neighbors came together, issuing calls for assistance and organizing search efforts across the area. Volunteers with drones, side-by-sides, four-wheelers, and those willing to search on foot answered the call, showing just how deeply Paul Ray was cared for within his community.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1359\">Despite those tireless efforts, the outcome has left hearts heavy.
