Jerry Gray Obituary

With a heavy heart, the family of Jerry Lynn Gray announces his passing on April 17th 2023 at age 63.

He had been battling several health conditions and had been in a wheelchair for the last four years. He is at peace with our Lord no longer suffering or in pain. He was a lifelong resident of Church Hill.

He grew up working at the family-owned Gray Brother's Grocery for many years until it closed. He also worked several construction jobs. He was a loving, kind, caring, and funny person who was thankful for having a family that helped to care for his medical care and other needs.

He was preceded in death by parents, Billy T. Gray and Lura Gray.

He is survived by his sisters, Coleen Hutson (Mike), Nadine Gray; nieces and nephews, Emily Hutson (Tommy Elliott), Michael Hutson (Mindy), Lucas Case, Kaleb Elliott, Elijah Elliott, Mia Hutson.

Per his wishes a graveside service will be held on Thursday April 20that 11:00 A.M at McPheeters Bend Cemetery. Those wishing to attend the graveside service are asked to meet at the cemetery by 10:45 AM.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Judes.
