Rayburn was a member of the Army Reserves for eight years.  He worked for the Texas Department of Transportation for 43 years and loved his job.  Rayburn always said he could "outrun the rain to finish a seal coat." His love of guns led him to be a founding member of the Burnet Gun Club. He was an avid photographer and loved taking pictures of wildlife.

He is survived by his wife, Patsy Ashabranner, his son Greg Ashabranner and wife Karla, daughter Terri Lehner and husband Mike, stepsons Chris Castellow and wife Beth, and Brian Ashabranner and wife Emily. He is survived by nine grandchildren and one great grandchild.
