Bruce Edward, son to Willie Lee Gray and Annie Laurie McNeil Gray, was born on Tuesday, September 6, 1966 in Los Angeles, California. His wife, Karen Denise Holliday Gray and parents, brothers, Ronald and Phillip Gray preceded him in death.

He professed a hope in Christ at an early age and later in life united with Concord Missionary Baptist Church.

On June 20, 1992, Bruce united in holy matrimony with Karen Denise Holliday. They were the proud parents of three children and shared 28 years of wedded bliss.

He loved spending time with his family and friends. All who knew and loved him will sorely miss his presence and jovial laughter.

On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Bruce departed this life to be with the Lord.

He leaves precious memories to be cherished by daughters: Naikiya (Carmelo)Felix and Ke’Ara Holliday, both of Columbia, SC; sons, Markale Gray, Phoenix. AZ and Antwon Gray; brothers: Aaron Gray, David Gray, both of Los Angeles, CA; four grandchildren: Carmelo, Nai’Layah, Ajayla, and Amani and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
