Sam was born on July 15, 1932, in Poteet, Texas to Carl and Dorila Gray. He proudly served his country in the USAF. He was a “boot scooting, karaoke singing, Cadillac driving, guitar playing crazy man.” He loved camping across this country, and those camping trips were some of our most cherished memories. Sam was loved by all and was always the ‘life of the party.” He will be greatly missed by many – particularly by his loving family.

Sam is survived by his children, Jerry (Charito) Gray, Shirley (Tony) Fontaine, Linda (Alisa) Gray, Kathy (Randy) Deel, and Curtis (Lisa) Gray; by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and by his fiancé, Mary Jo Bryson.

In addition to his parents, Sam was preceded in death by his wife, Patsy in 2012; and by his siblings, Deloris Sweeney and Jerry Lee Gray.
