Ray was born October 13, 1933 to Tony and Anne (Drong) Bryniarski in Moran Township. He attended country schools and at a young age, with farming in his blood, he operated the family farm in Cushing. Ray was a dairy farmer for many years and saw many changes in the farming industry. After he retired from dairy farming, he raised beef cattle until his actual retirement in January of 2022. For many years, Ray served on the Cushing Township board and was a state fire warden for 65 years. He enjoyed his garden and sharing his harvest of sweet corn, homemade raspberry jelly and a lot of rhubarb crisp. Ray loved his coffee while watching his hummingbirds and his cattle grazing from his kitchen window. If you brought him a donut, he enjoyed it even more. What really lit up his life were his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nothing made him happier than having family and friends all around him. 

Ray is survived by three sons, Steven (Alyce) Bryniarski of Little Falls, Bryon (Sherry) Bryniarski and Brent (Danelle) Bryniarski of Little Falls; two daughters, Kim (Joel) Quance of Staples and RaeAnn (Randy) Peterschik of Cushing; two sisters, Marianne (Allan) Host of Long Prairie and Jodi (Gary) Collins of St. Cloud; 13 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. 

Ray was preceded in death by his parents; spouse, Kate Bryniarski; two sisters, Loraine Altrichter and Rita Britz; one brother, Stefan Bryniarski and one great-grandson, Owen Mrozek.

Arrangements are by the  Shelley Funeral Chapel in Little Falls.
