I am Rays firts cousin. You might think I'm crazy, but it's dead true. I was 1 when he died. You do the math! it's true! My mom is Yvette Blasco, and I was really close to him.He didn't use drugs. That's a lie!He died of AIDS, which I'm heartbroken. Istill do remember alot about him. I remember the day I visited him in the hospital.
