Michael Steven Gray

He was born April 6, 1954, in Crestline, Ohio, to the late Mary Lou (Emmer) and Vernon Gray. Mike was employed as a truck driver for many years. Affectionately known as “Grizz”, he once wrestled a grizzly bear and lost—but lived to tell about it. He loved being around family and every one of them were important to him. In his free time, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding motorcycles.

He is survived by his wife, Lila Axford Gray; four children, Michael (Tiffany) Gray, Jodi (Cierra) Gray, Mary (Teddy) Hiles and Jack (Mandy) Gray; sixteen grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Helena Souslin.
