Yance Gray Obituary
RAEFORD, N.C. - Staff Sergeant Yance Tell Gray, age 26, of Raeford, formerly of Ismay, Mont., was killed in action while serving with the United States Army, stationed in Iraq on Sept. 10, 2007. He was a member of Charlie Troop (1/73 Cav) 1st Battalion, 325 Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division.
Tell was born on Aug. 4, 1981, in Miles City, Mont., to Richard and Karen (Parr-Griebel) Gray. He attended Whitney Creek country school through the seventh grade and graduated from Plevna High School in the spring of 2000. In June of 2000, Tell proudly entered the United States Army. He had completed three active tours of duty, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, his fourth to be completed in November of 2007.
Tell was born to be a solider. As a young boy, he wore out his Grampa Gray's old army uniform. Around 5 years, he came to his parents and told them, "Mom and Dad, I know what I want be when I grow up, a ranger in the 82nd Airborne." Tell succeeded in his goal, receiving his Ranger Tab among other various leadership schools and awards to include the Bronze Star, Army Commendation Medals, Army Achievement Medals, Army Good Conduct Medals, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign, Iraq Campaign, Global War Expeditionary Award, Global War Service Award, NCO Ribbon, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, Expert Infantrymen's Badge, Combat Infantryman's Badge, Parachutist's Badge and Expert Rifleman's Badge.
Tell was introduced to his future wife Jessica Duncan while at home on leave. After a courtship extending two combat tours, Tell and Jessica were married on Aug. 6, 2004. Their love was special; very deep for each other and were the best of friends. Tell would always tell Jessica "our love can make it through anything that they can throw at us." Tell and Jessica had their first baby Ava Madison Gray on April 3, 2007. Tell was unable to be there but sat on speakerphone from Iraq the entire time, cheering Jessica on. He was able to meet his daughter four days after she was born and had an amazing 14 days as a new daddy - reading to her, telling her how beautiful she was, and taking so many pictures to bring back to Iraq with him. He was incredibly excited to come home finally and "be with my new little family." Tell was his happiest when he was giving to others and was a protector to all he knew. He would never show if he was hurting, always trying to be there for others first.
Tell is survived by his wife, Jessica and their infant daughter Ava Madison Gray, 5 months, of Raeford; his parents, Richard and Karen Gray of Ismay; his brother, Borden and his wife Erica and their children Caiden and Ella of Miles City, Mont.; his sister, Beth and her husband Dax Muri, and their children Orin and Tailey of Ismay; his grandparents, Robert and Betty Gray of Ismay; grandfather, Wesley Parr; grandparents, Rodney and Margie Griebel; Jessica's parents, Wade and Tricia Alexander of Rosebud, Mont., and Kenn and Carol Duncan of Rapid City, S.D.; his brother-in-law, Jeremiah Duncan serving with the US Navy Seabees in Korea, and sister-in-law Tiffany and her husband Brad Ricci of Fairbanks, Alaska; grandmother-in-law, Betty Howell of Dallas, Texas; grandparents-in-law, Bob and Pat Duncan of Debary, Fla., and all of his loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Tell was preceded in death by his grandmother Marjorie Askin.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, Sept. 20, at 1 p.m. at Grace Bible Church in Miles City. Funeral and graveside services will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 2 p.m. in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., with full military rites and honors. The family is asking stories about Tell and condolences be sent to the family by visiting: www.stevensonandsons.com to be placed in a memorial book for his daughter Ava to have about her Daddy.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to: Ava Madison Gray in memory of her father Yance Tell Gray to be placed in a college fund, 132 Falling Leaf Drive, Raeford, NC 28376

Hello, I am a student that was assigned a project about fallen heroes. I chose Staff Sgt. Yance T. Gray. I was watching a video in class and saw Mrs. Jessica Gray and decided to research Mr. Gray. My school is going to Arlington National Cemetery on either the 16th or 17th of November 2016. If anyone reads this, especially Mrs. Jessica Gray, please try to make it to Arlington. I will be sending a letter to your house also. I express my heartfelt condolences to the loved ones that have had to go through this tough time. Just remember God is always there sending angels. I hope I can be one of them for you.

SSG Yance Tell Gray,
To me he was my Ranger Buddy, I met him in Dec 2005. I had just taken over the Platoon which he was assigned. He was a confident leader and true American. I will never get over that day 10 Sep 2007. God bless you and your family, your sacrifice will never been forgotten. Rangers lead the way!!

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Yance, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

SSG Yance Tell Gray
I met SSG Gray - the first day I came to the 82nd three years ago.
He had served 2 tours with the 504th, left the army and had just joined the army for the second time. I vividly remember, someone asking him: “dude, you left and came back!
Why in the hell would you do that to your self man?
Gray’s answer was simple and to the point; I was tired of watching the news, I wanted to be there with the rest of them and do something about it.
That is Gray - and this is his fourth deployment.
Anyone who has worked with Gray could attest that he was just the kind of leader we needed in the front lines waging a counter insurgency. He understood the concept of Counter Insurgency and the nature of this war better than most. His tactical acumen made it possible for him to see order and clarity in chaos. His intellectual curiosity made him see subtly and nuance when others could not. His instinctive humanity made him empathize with Iraqis and understand them. MAKE NO MISTAKE however, when it was necessary, he eliminated the enemy with no regrets. When he did - it was deliberate, swift, and most certainly lethal. Those of us who have seen him in action could definitely say when he did it - he did it with grace, elegance and in the end, style. He was a brilliant soldier and a phenomenal leader.
He had a strong sense of duty as a citizen. Never shy with constructive criticisms or his opinions. He thought that as Americans, we should always hold ourselves to ever higher standards and believed strongly that, that was our strength as a nation. He always looked for ways not just to make a difference. He was distinctive in his determination to do better each and every time. He was the kind of man that makes me – and I believe all of us here today - proud to say that we are Americans.
He was also the ultimate family man. He had not one, but two families, and his world revolved around them: his wife Jessica, daughter Ava, and those of us that worked with him. We know that he would have willingly given his life for his family, and he did.
On that tragic day, the Army lost one of its best soldiers, our nation lost an outstanding citizen, we lost our brother, Jessica her Husband, and Ava, her father.
Make no mistake, we will keep his memory alive, making sure that his sacrifice is not in vain and that it is never forgotten. We will continue to do what we do, but we will do it better each and very time, just the way he would.
Because we know that he would not want it in any other way.
Gray:
In Life, you were a leader, a guide and a brother.
In death, you will be the source of our inspiration.
I feel blessed to have known him and may God bless his Soul

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Staff Sergeant Gray. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. His life and his love of country epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe him ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… his family!!!

Karen,
We were very saddened to read of your loss of Yance in the MSN online article about him.
I guess the last time we communicated was while I was in Saudi Arabia with my Marine Battalion during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. We were all very disappointed that we couldn't finish it the first time. We keep you all in prayer and especially pray that the Lord keeps you close during this very difficult time.

My Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy goes out to the family of Staff Sgt. Yance T. Gray, with a Multitude of Thanks for this Brave Young Soldier's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.
The price Yance and his family have paid, Will Never Be Forgotten. May he Rest Safely, in God's Care and may the Peace of God be with the Gray family.
I am the Sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago
"Surely He hath borne our grief,
and carried our sorrows."
~ Isaiah 53:4 ~
May you find comfort and strength, in the beautiful memories of times spent with Yance. Quietly and gently, may healing come, with each new day.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers.
September 14, 2007
There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!
