It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Billy Don Gray, 70, who left us far too soon but left behind a lifetime of laughter, stories, and unforgettable moments.

Born in Vernon, TX November 14th, 1955 and passed away peacefully in Kennedale, TX January 25th, 2026.

Bill was a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, cheering them on with passion and unwavering loyalty, always hopeful that this would be their year. He loved the thrill of a good poker game with his friends. Classic cars weren’t just a hobby for him; he treasured his own collection and took immense pride in caring for them.

Family meant everything to Bill. He cherished gatherings, where he would serve smoked brisket, nachos, chili. Enjoying football games wasn’t just a tradition, it was where his spirit shone brightest, surrounded by good food, great company, and that unmistakable hopeful cheer for his team.

A natural comedian, he had a rare gift: the ability to bring joy to any room. His humor was effortless and perfectly timed, lifting spirits and turning ordinary moments into treasured memories. Family gatherings were brighter because of him, and even the simplest afternoons felt lighter when he was around.

Above all, he was a brother who loved, lived authentically, and embraced every passion with heart. His memory will live on in shared laughs, cruising down Cooper st, poker nights, and the echo of cheers on game day.

Bill will forever remain in our hearts.
