Ray Shephard is Christian Shephard's father and Jack Shephard's grandfather. He is also Claire Littleton's grandfather and Aaron Littleton's great-grandfather but is most likely unaware of this.

He once owned a watch that was passed down to Christian and then to Jack, on his wedding day. Christian explained that he didn't like the watch because Ray had told him on his wedding day of his disapproval of Margo. ("The Watch")

One day before Jack boarded Ajira Airways Flight 316, he visited Ray at his retirement home. Ray had just made the latest in a series of attempts to escape the home. Ray declared his dislike of the facility and said he would one day escape, claiming, "They won't ever find me, either." They discussed Kate, whom Jack had at some point introduced to his grandfather. Helping Ray unpack his suitcase, Jack found a pair of shoes which belonged to Christian. After Christian's death, his wife Margo had given some of Christian's belongings to his father Ray, including these shoes. Jack asked to take the shoes and he later placed them on Locke's corpse. ("316")
