== Early life and education ==
Graves was born in Knoxville, Tennessee on December 31, 1918.〔Julian M. Pleasants, ''Gator Tales: An Oral History of the University of Florida'', University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, p. 189 (2006).〕 He was the son of a Methodist minister, and he realized that his best (and perhaps only) opportunity to attend college would be to earn an athletic scholarship.〔 Tennessee Wesleyan College, a small Methodist-affiliated college located in Athens, Tennessee, recognized his athletic talent and offered him a full scholarship.〔 Coach Robert Neyland of the University of Tennessee recognized his stand-out play and arranged for Graves to transfer to Tennessee.〔 After he graduated from Tennessee in 1942, he attempted to volunteer for the U.S. Navy following the United States' entry into World War II, but he was rejected when he failed his physical because he was deaf in one ear.〔Pleasants, ''Gator Tales'', p. 193.〕 He would have been accepted only in a grave emergency.〔Harry Grayson, "( The Scoreboard )'" ''Lawrence Daily Journal-World'', p. 6 (December 29, 1941). Retrieved May 17, 2011.〕
Graves married Opal Richardson on November 3, 1942, and they had three daughters together.〔Scott Carter, "( Former Gators Football Coach, Athletic Director Ray Graves Dies at Age 96 )," GatorZone.com (April 10, 2015). Retrieved April 10, 2015.〕
