In Loving Memory of Jeremy Wayne Gray
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jeremy Wayne Gray, age 33, of Loretto, Tennessee, who tragically lost his life on Friday, September 26, 2025. A beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend, Jeremy’s presence brought joy, laughter, and unwavering loyalty to all who were fortunate enough to know him.
A Life Rooted in Love and Dedication
Born and raised in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, Jeremy built a life defined by hard work, love for his family, and simple pleasures that reflected his authentic spirit. He was employed at Frito-Lay, where his work ethic and commitment earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues.
At home, Jeremy’s greatest devotion was to his wife, Kelsey Gray, and to his cherished dogs, Lily and Tucker, who were more like his children than pets. His love for them was an extension of his loyal heart—a heart that poured care and compassion into every relationship he nurtured.
Hobbies That Defined His Spirit
Jeremy was a man of many passions. He found peace and purpose in the outdoors, whether through hunting, riding his bike, or simply being surrounded by nature. Known for his mechanical talents, Jeremy had a gift for tinkering and fixing things. Nothing was too small or too broken for him to bring back to life. His hands-on creativity reflected not only skill, but also a sense of joy in problem-solving and discovery.
Above all else, Jeremy loved “his people” fiercely. He carried a steadfast loyalty that made his presence a source of comfort and strength to his family and friends. His laughter, kindness, and deep care for others will be remembered as defining qualities of his life.
