James Roy Gray

James “Roy” Gray, 64, passed away Sunday morning, May 7, 2017. He was a native of Florence and resident of Mobile, AL for the past 43 years, because he found the love of his life there. On June 24, 1983, he married Mindy Field Gray. Surviving him are wife, Mindy Gray; son Jason “Logan” Gray (Kailey); 6 precious grandchildren who loved their “Pops” as much as he loved them; one sister, Carleen Longshore (Jim) of Florence, AL; a sister-in-law, Bonny Gray; and a host of nephews and nieces. Preceding him in death were his parents, James and Frances Gray; and his brother, Steve Gray of Trussville, AL. Roy was a faithful member of Creekwood Church of Christ in Mobile. He loved people first, and we know that by all the friends he laughed with, fished with, and hunted with. He loved the great outdoors, especially “the good food” at the hunting camp.
