Jeffrey Gray

Jeffrey Gray, 62, passed away in Phoenix, AZ in March of 2025. Originally from Louisiana, Jeffrey was the son of Dixie Martin and Jim Gray. After graduating from Sterlington High School, he went on to study at NLU in Monroe, Louisiana. Later, Jeffrey began his career at Lowes, where he dedicated 23 years working in multiple store locations around the valley. Jeffrey is remembered by those who knew him as a skilled woodworker and gardener, often creating many of his family members' furniture pieces and helping with projects. He was also an avid traveler- having visited all 50 states, Mexico, and most of Canada. Some of his other interests included hockey, collecting autographs, but there was nothing he loved more than spending time with his grandchildren. Jeffrey brought a sense of humor to every situation and was known for his unwavering generosity. He is pre-deceased by his father Jim Gray and his wife Pam; his grandparents C.F and Pauline Gray; Claude and Helen Eubanks; brother-in-law Kevin Cupit and his grandson Caden Reed. Jeffrey's memory will live on through those who loved him- Including his wife, Libby; their daughters, Nicole Reed (Dustin) and Brooke Drake (Dane); his grandchildren, Haylee, Taylor, Cody, Peyton, Arya, and Hannah; and his mother, Dixie Martin (Harold). He is also survived by his beloved sisters, Teresa Brown (John), Kellye Cupit, Suzonne Hopkins (Erich), and Amanda Taylor (Rob), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. There will be a Celebration of Life at Hansen Mortuary Chapel in Phoenix, AZ on Friday, April 25th from 5-7pm. There will be a second Celebration of Life in NE Louisiana on Saturday, June 7th, 2025. Time and location are to be determined. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that book donations be made in Jeffrey's name to your local public library.
