Dewayne Edward Gray

Dewayne was a kind, giving, generous, and hardworking man who loved spending time with his family and friends. He was passionate about cruising lowriders and traveling with his wife, Barbara. He was always the life of the party, making others laugh and smile with his funny jokes and humor.

Dewayne retired from 3M/Imation in 2001 after 22 years of service. He married his longtime love, Barbara, on February 5, 2005. They met in 1979 while both working at 3M in Camarillo, California. They shared two sons, Dewayne E. Gray, Jr. (born 1982) and Ruben Vera (born 1970).

Dewayne is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Barbara; his children, Ruben Vera, Nicole Castellano, Martha Gray, and Dewayne E. Gray, Jr.; his grandchildren, Jaz Vera, Cameron Vera, Ariana Vera, Cristal Gray, Megan Hernandez, and Abigail Hernandez; his brothers, Sparky Reddell and George Gray; and his many friends.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mavis Boone; his father, Bruce Gray; and his brother, Danny Gray

Dewayne will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He will always be remembered for his kind heart, generous spirit, and love of life.

Remember me with love and joy,

Let gratitude fill your heart

Thankful for the time we had,

Gone... yet not apart

If we measure life in moments,

Not in month or years

I live a hundred lifetimes,

Loved by all who hold me dear.

I hope you'll find your smile,

And generously speak my name.

Share stories and my heart,

Your love for life unchanged.

Celebrate the life I lived,

I will be watching from above.

I am always with you,

Sending you my light and love.
