In Memory of Russell Gray
Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we come together to honor the life and legacy of Russell Gray. Russ was taken from us far too soon on February 22, 2024 at the age of 63 after a short and very difficult battle with stage 4 cancer.
He leaves behind his wife, my mom, Carol Gray. They were together 20 years and married for six. Russ was a loving husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather, and loyal friend. He had the biggest heart and was always quick to help someone in need. He was loved by all who crossed his path.
My mom has not been able to work as he relied on her to take him to and from treatments. They do not have savings, and he did not have life insurance. The time between his initial diagnosis and passing was only six months, and they had no time to prepare financially.
Any donations received will help cover his cremation, any memorial, and to help his wife remain above water as she grieves and navigates life as a widow.
In the end, we all want to honor Russ’s memory by coming together to support his wife during this incredibly difficult time and to ease any further burdens. He would want to know she is being cared for and surrounded by love.
These funds will allow her to determine what needs she has most as it relates to the coming days, arrangements, and even supporting her immediate future. Your generosity will help support her healing and remembrance of Russell’s beautiful soul.
