Dale Gray Obituary
DALE GRAY
January 31, 1957 November 12, 2020
There will never be another Dale Gray, So caring and positive in every way.
Married to Linda for 43 years, Had three children, several dogs, and few fears. "She's my best friend" he always said of his wife, "Every day is a good day" was his outlook on life.
He's survived by two boys - Brandon and Ryan Gray, His daughter Kelly, and family far away. Danny and Doug are his beloved kin, Always competing with jokes for the win. Cherished his granddaughters, Clara, Piper, and Bailey. They loved the "Earth Angel" unconditionally.
To have known this man is truly a treasure, A person so thoughtful and funny beyond measure. What a wonderful world, he always agreed. A man of simple pleasures, no ego, no greed. He loved listening to music, always sang along, He could name any artist, album, or song. He supported the Broncos - loved a good win. Watched cars race in circles again and again. Patience like no other, a twinkle in his eye, Had a gift for children, who all adored this guy.
So what are the lessons he wants us to live? No one is broken, take less than you give. Drive fast cars, American muscle, But brake for animals, no matter the hustle. Enjoy a walk on a sunny afternoon, Feed the bluejays and teach them to swoon. Find bonds with strangers by giving an ear, Make them a friend with each coming year.
Treat people equally - every single soul, Respect to all regardless of role. Tell a good joke, make someone smile. When someone's in need, go the extra mile. Give advice that's good, responses that are clever. Memories are the only things you truly have forever.
Carry Dale's memory forward by overcoming sorrow, And go live your days as if there's no tomorrow.
Born January 31st nineteen fifty seven, Passed November 12th and has joined the ranks in heaven.
A celebration of life will happen sometime next year, More information can be shared and found here: https://www.gatheringus.com/memorial/dale-gray/5781

Dale you were given a bad cancer diagnosis, you kept fighting, responded to chemo, survived a dangerous surgery, and made it back home to convalesce. You were so tough, strong, and your attitude was remarkable.
We all hoped you were out of the woods, and were surprised and grief stricken when you passed suddenly. Growing up, I was your older brother, but you were only 18 months younger than me, so when our family moved across the country, we changed schools many times, but we always had each other. as children, we played together for hours, sometimes fought (like young brothers do), and occasionally got into trouble together. As adults we were very different people in many ways. However, we loved, respected, and supported each other. You were always so strong, the tough guy with the big heart. You were a no nonsense person, very practical, and yet you also demonstrated kindness when it was needed. were a great husband and father and grandfather, and Linda and your kids and grandkids are going to miss you dearly, as will the rest of us.
