Jimmy Gray Obituary
Shreveport - Jimmy Wayne Gray loved life!
He was committed and dedicated to his family and work. You would often find him teaching and training anyone that wanted to learn! No one was a stranger. His personality and infectious smile drew you in to love him. He was an intriguing and distinguished gentleman. His greatest love was being a great husband, father, brother, and friend. He enjoyed gardening, traveling, and helping others, whether it was with their finances, buying a home or just being a listening ear. He would always be there to extend a hand to help. His presence will be sorely missed.
On February 12, 2021, Jimmy wrote his final chapter of his earthly life at Medical City Dallas Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He was preceded in death by his father, G. L. Gray and mother, Mattie L. Douglas Gray.
Everlasting memories are left with his wife, Vannessa M Gray; three daughters, Kyndel A. Gray, Kayameshia O. Robinson, and Katherine J. Gray; four grandsons, Andrae, Kameron, Ian, and Kyler; eight sisters, Mary F. Conner (Willie), Lillie Booker, Hilda Kendrick, Clara Weaver (David), Suzetta Myers (Russell), Delores Robinson (Rogers), Gracie Houston, and Georgia Ashley (Sherman); two brothers, Gary T. Gray (Sylvia) and Travis Gray (Vera); a host of nephews, nieces, other relatives and friends.
