Peter Gray Obituary

Peter Brock Gray,
passed into the loving
arms of Jesus on March 5,
2023 at the age of 45. Peter
lived life to the fullest and
lived more in his 45 years
than most people do in a
lifetime. He lived with his
feet on the ground and his
eyes focused on Jesus and
eternity. Peter was in this
world, but not of this
world. He was the true liv-
ing example of Christ in
us. Peter was generous of
heart and spirit, and he
never met a stranger. His
work was his ministry and
his heart poured out over
the needs of others. He
spent his free time volun-
teering at the Open Arms
Free Medical Clinic in
Toccoa, Ga. Peter's life
mission was focused on
building the kingdom of
heaven on earth. Peter
loved hiking, being out-
doors and enjoying God's
beautiful creation. Peter
loved visiting his sister
Sunday in Europe, visit-
ing his sister Susan in
Hawaii, scuba diving in
the tropics with his broth-
er Samuel and camping
with his best friend and
late brother, Michael. He
had a heart for medical
missions and served and
supported many mission
groups around the world.
He was a member of a Free
Chapel Church in
Gainesville, Ga. He had a
gift of music and his pas-
sion was worshiping the
Lord in song. He was a
member of the Honors
Chorale at Seneca High
School where he formed
many long-lasting friend-
ships. He graduated from
the College of Charleston
and Medical University of
South Carolina. Peter was
a physician assistant in
Clarksville and Toccoa,
Ga., and the co-founder of
Clarkesville Dermatology
and Medical Associates
with his dear colleague,
Dr. Shri Nadig.
Peter is from Seneca,
S.C., and was the son of
Marvin Granville Gray, Jr
and Dr. Sandra Lowry
Gray. He was a beloved fa-
ther to Isaac, Clara and
Lillian. His heart was his
children and everything
he did was for them. He is
survived by his partner
Megan Adams of Georgia,
his brother Dr. Samuel
Gray and wife, Heather,
with sons Simon and El-
liott, sister Sunday Gray
and husband Henry Romi-
jn with daughters Alexan-
dra, Fleur and Giselle, Dr.
Susan Hurley with hus-
band Dr. Jacob Hurley and
their children Charles,
George, Daniel, Leilani,
and Theodore, and his late
brother Michael Granville
Gray. Michael was his best
friend and we rejoice that
they are reunited and hik-
ing together on the streets
of gold in Heaven.
A celebration of Peter's
life was held at Seneca
Baptist Church on March
10, 2023. The family re-
deived friends at 11 a.m.
with the funeral service at
1 p.m., followed by a burial
service at Ramsey Creek
Preserve. We rejoice in the
fact that Peter is alive in
Christ, and take great
comfort in and knowing
that to be absent in the
body is to be present with
the Lord. Condolences
may be expressed online

funeralhome.com. San-
difer Funeral Home is as-
sisting the Gray family.

His warm engagement with those he ministered to was rare and other doctors should emulate his example!

Just hearing of his passing, thinking he was somewhere with a smile & bringing warmness to a face for a visit. He was one of the kindest in his field & I am so glad to have met him. I worked with Peter & my oldest also grew attached to his loving spirit as a patient. She was saddened to hear this as well. It just shows Peter touched everyone he came in contact with & I think for that GOD was pleased. Rest on my friend.

I am absolutely devastated by Peter's death. Peter walked the walk and talked the talk. If everyone loved their children the way Peter loved his children there would be FAR fewer problems. His kids was his whole life. My heart absolutely breaks for them.

We were saddened to hear of Peters passing. He was always extremely personable, respectful and professional. We started seeing Peter about 3 years ago. He always asked how the ride over the mountain was as the start of our appointment. He was just so friendly all the time. He had beautiful smile that we will always remember. Rest in peace my friend.

Peter Gray, a gentleman, a scholar, a Christian by example and not proxy, who I first met when he treated by wife in early September of 2022 and who we continued to visit for treatments through November. His passing came as a complete surprise to us and the word "shock" truly expressed our feelings. And for me, the first moment I met Peter I sensed a kindred spirit who was further along the path than me, but our directions were on the same trajectory. And with his passing I recognize that the world is missing a ray of light that has transitioned to be with our Maker. I think of those who were family and friends and sense just how deeply he will be missed but also remembered. We never forget that first shooting star that we witness and never forget those few subsequent encounters. Thank you, Peter, for your healing, your concern, and your presence. Richard and Carol

i was shocked and saddened to learn today that Peter Gray had passed away. He was my dermatologist and did more for me in the last 18 months than other dermatologists had done in 20 years. Such a kind and caring gentleman too. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear that my Dear friend and doctor has passed. Dr. Gray was a perfect example of what a Christian is, he prayed with me on top of treating my medical needs. He is greatly missed but we will meet again one day in Heaven.

I was shocked and very sad to hear of Peter's death. I always looked forward to seeing him as he was a bright, caring professional who truly was on the side of his patient. He worked with me for over 10 years to cure a skin condition I had suffered with since childhood. I last saw him the end of February and we high-fived each other that we FINALLY had it beat. He was as happy as I was. I am going to be sad about him for awhile and feel bereft to lose such a soul from this life.

We are heartbroken to learn of Peters passing. He would always call me "sister"although I am old enough to be his Mother. But as he was talking, "sister in Christ", I adored the name. We love you Peter, and will miss you until we meet again soon in Heaven with our Lord. The Sprechers

Peter was not only my Dr he was my brother in Christ. The last time I went to see him he asked me to pray over him and his nurse and I gladly did. We had many great Christian conversations. He was very open about his belief in Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit. Thank you for being a great Dr, friend, and brother in Christ. We will meet again one day in heaven my friend.

Peter's passing has affected me deeply. I was a patient of his, but soon became much more than a patient. He became a dear friend. Most people have only a few friends within their inner circle, but I believe Peter must have had many close friends. He was an example of one who fulfilled the first commandment to love God and one's neighbor. In his work, he had an amazing eye for detecting any suspect abnormalities. One went to him for his expertise but wound up loving him as a close friend. I look forward to seeing Peter again. I extend my sincere sympathy to the family in their great loss, but it's only temporary.

The sudden passing of our friend Peter Gray leaves holes in the hearts of those who loved Peter. His life brings to mind the Don McLean song, Starry,
Starry Night. This world was never meant for one
as beautiful as Peter!

I started calling on Peter in 2015 as a pharmaceutical representative. I will never forget the first time we met, and how he was different from anybody else that I have ever met before. I called on him for over 7 years and we became good friends. I had the honor and the privilege to know the man and his family and his kids. Everyday and every time I saw him he spoke of the kingdom of heaven! He was such a blessing in my life. Rest in peace brother Peter, I know that we will see each other again one day! Love you Brother Peter

Peter was my doctor but also my friend. We would talk about so many things especially our kids and the incredible love for our family. From the 1st time I went to see Peter we hit it off and I will miss him very much. If I can be of any help to his family I will be there. Rest in peace my friend and god be with your family and friends as well as all your patients who loved you

Sweet Peter was like a son to us, as I am sure he was to many...We went to him when he first began working in Toccoa and have followed him to Clayton and Clarkesville. He shared the same birthday as my brother and my son and we always loved surprising him on his birthday.
He always talked about his children and all of the fun they had on the jet ski. He loved life and he especially loved his children and family, Above all he loves his Lord and Savior. I gave him a copy of God Calling when he was working in Clayton and he said he read it regularly.
He was probably one of the most kind and compassionate people I've ever encountered in my life. I can picture his smile. God has another angel with Him.

I absolutely adored Peter. Getting to see his big smile, getting a warm hug, hearing about the latest in his life, sharing whatever was going on in my life with him, laughing about my age, lapping up his genuine caring for this old lady who was just his patient. Peter made me feel like family. I am heartbroken. I will miss this sweet man, this caring soul as if he were, indeed, family.
