Visitation is set for 6 P.M. today for a former longtime car dealer in the CSRA.
Ray Bourne passed away on Sunday at the age of 85.
Bourne was credited for developing the land and building Bourne Toyota, then a state-of-the-art dealership/service center on 3069 Washington Road, before selling it in 2004.
Ray and his surviving wife, “Honey” Maurica M. Bourne, operated it for nearly 10 years there and received several industry and local awards, and were also known for their strong faith and philanthropy.
The property was retrofitted for several car dealerships after the sale in 2004 and is currently home to Classic Collision, with plans to subdivide the land with several retail businesses.
According to an obituary from Thomas Poteet and Sons, there will be a visitation for family and friends on Wednesday, March 18th, 2026, at Thomas Poteet and Sons Funeral Home located at 214 Davis Rd., Augusta, GA, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM.
A Mass of the Resurrection will be followed on Thursday, March 19th, 2026, at Church of the Holy Comforter Episcopal Church at 11:00 AM, located at 473 Furys Ferry Rd., Martinez, GA. Interment will follow services at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
