Ronald Gray Obituary

It pains me to admit it, but apparently I have passed away. Everyone told me it would happen one day, but that is simply something I didn’t want to hear-much less experience. But I’m glad i’m here. While on this subject of MY life I was born to my parents Victoria Angelina Spadoni and Earnest Thomas Gray and older sister on Dec 1st (My Favorite Day) 1955 in Oakland, Ca. But of course, I was the favorite. As a child my grandfather Victor taught me the art of fly fishing in Markleeville, CA in the East Carson River. I was an avid duck hunter, fisherman, horseman and believe it or not a kick butt slalom water skier.

I graduated from Pacific High School in San Leandro, CA in 1973 and started my career with Sysco Foods. I was a delivery driver for 25 years and then asales representatives for the remainder of my 43 years of service.

I was blessed with my children Rachel, Mike, Stephanie, Brandon,Danielle, Sean and Joe. And just when I didn’t think I could fall in love again I was blessed with my two grand babies Kaylie and Elena.

I met and married the woman of my dreams “My Maria” on September 22, 2007. There wasn’t a weekend that went by we weren’t camping and fishing, horse camping or camping and boating. This was our true passion. Our happy place. We often vacationed to Montana and our dreams were finally realized with our little cabin in the woods in July 2016.

Please do not cry because I am gone (or maybe a little) after all I have passed away. Today just know I am fishing with Jesus because he is a fisher of men. If you want to contact me please call 1(800)HEAVEN and/or Knee-Mail.

Love, Ron

Matthew 4:19 KJV

"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
