T.E. Cooke-Overton Funeral Home - Suffolk Obituary

Life is a glorious gift that should be cherished by the living and remembered for those who have transitioned onward. It is truly a journey through space and time that invariably leaves a ripple, no matter how faint. While some of those who journey with us may do so with great expectation, others do so with selfless love and giving.


Our journey may have many paths some long and some that conclude in just a single step. However, it is inevitable that no matter how wonderful or sorrowful the journey through life may be, it will eventually come to an end and we too must transition onward.


 It is in times like these where someone’s journey has come to an end that we pause to reflect on the one who has gone before us and to remember that life is a gift. Be it a spouse, mother, father, child, sister, brother, grandparent, aunt, uncle, relative or friend, let us acknowledge the life and cherish the memory of this one light that has dimmed - gone too soon.

Praying for the Gray family

Haywood or Haywood as my son called him was a positive influence in a young boys life without a father figure. He introduced him to Cub Scouts, fishing, airplane, trucks and to stand tall. My son is grown man now and he just asked about Haywood´s whereabouts just two weeks ago. His spirit will live on in our lives. My condolences to the family and thanks you for sharing him with us.

My deepest condolence to the entire family. May God comfort you during your time of grief. Gray will truly be missed but great memories will always remain.

Dad, we love and miss you. Reinhardt and Bernadette

My heart is heavy for this loss. For over the 30 years I’ve known Hayward he was always the same. Hayward loved his family and was great friend to me and mine. May his memories live on while he rest in peace.
