Ray Marvin Keck, III (born 1947), is the fifth and departing president of Texas A&M International University, a four-year institution with certain graduate programs as well in Laredo, Texas, USA, a post to which he was initially appointed effective September 1, 2001. He is also a distinguished organist.
Born in San Antonio, Texas, Keck was reared in Cotulla in La Salle County between Laredo and San Antonio. His father, Ray Keck, Jr. (1923-1997), was a veteran of the 1944 D-Day invasion of World War II and a banker by profession. He first worked for the former Alamo National Bank, since Bank One Corporation in San Antonio and then became vice-president and president of Stockmen's National Bank in Cotulla. In 1961, he was named president of his bankers' district. In 1967, Keck, Jr. became affiliated with Union National Bank in Laredo and in 1977 organized the South Texas National Bank in Laredo, of which he was both president and chairman of the board. Keck's mother is the former Joyce Littlepage (born c. 1923), who was widowed after fifty-three years of marriage. He has a brother, John Harrison Keck, Sr. (born c. 1950), a Laredo banker. A younger brother, James Randall Keck (1956-1978), died at the age of twenty-one.
On March 25, 1977, Keck married the former Patricia González Cigarroa (born c. 1954), an educator with the Laredo Independent School District and one of ten children of a prominent Laredo physician, Joaquin González Cigarroa, and his wife, the former Barbara Flores. There are two living Keck daughters, Teresa, named for her maternal great-grandmother, and Joyce, named for her paternal grandmother. A third daughter, Lacey Cigarroa Keck, a kindergarten teacher named for her paternal great-grandmother, is deceased. In 2004, Joyce Cigarroa Keck married Danny Rafati, the son of a Laredo physician of Lebanese descent. The couple resides in Fort Worth, Texas.
