Obituary For Mr. Terrence Gray

Terrence Andrew Gray was born on September 20, 1978, the oldest child to Robert and Cynthia Gray in Panama City, Florida. He grew up in Lynn Haven, Florida on Colorado Avenue. He was a proud alumni of Mosley High School, class of 1997, where he played football as a linebacker and full back. He worked as a property manager for many years, as a chef for multiple restaurants in the area;
He started his own lawn and maintenance business in 2019, furthering his involvement in the Panama City/Lynn Haven communities that he grew up in and loved so much. Terrence never met a stranger. He was life itself.

Terrence went home to be be with the Lord on October 20, 2023 in his home surrounded by his loving family. He is preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Annie Mae Williams “Big Ma”, and his grandmother, Dorothy Jean Clark.

To say he was loved by everyone is an understatement. He has a way of making life’s problems so simple. If you were someone that confided in him, then you experienced this. He made your complications simplified. He had the answers. If he came into your life, then he touched your life in one way or another. He’s outspoken and in your face.
He is honest. He doesn’t hold anything back. Every time you see him, its like the first time you saw him in years. It was big love. You always knew where you stood with him. He is EVERYTHING to everyone. When you called him, he was there. He holds many titles: son, father, uncle, brother, friend, confidant. What more can we say... but #goraiders #gonoles

Terrence leaves to mourn his death and cherish his memories: his loving family, parents, Robert and Cynthia Gray; brothers, Tyrone Gray and Ty’Zavion Porter; two special brothers, Dorahnn Barnes and Chris Irving; two sisters, Andrea Nicole Eggleston and Wilisha Gray; three nephews, Dartagnan Spires II, Khylar Reese, and Tyson Eggleston; two nieces, Kamiah Gray and Kara Eggleston; and his adoring fiancé, Kimberly Simien; along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Funeral services for Terrence will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023 2:00 PM at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church located at 1401 Iowa Avenue in Lynn Haven, FL with Reverend Clay Long officiating and the caring staff of Battle Mortuary directing.
