Jeffrey A. Gray, 52, of Bristol died Oct. 7, 2015, at Lincoln County Health Care, surrounded by love.

He was born Aug. 13, 1963, to Donna Mae Emerson Gray and Larry Gray.

Jeffrey was a graduate of Boothbay Region High School, class of 1981.

Jeff worked in many jobs over the years, including masonry with Mark, lobstering with Jody, and was a stern man for many people in the region.

Back in his younger years, he enjoyed Back Narrows life and his extended family and friends. Surely there are many stories that can be shared from that time.

Jeff loved his family and music, especially rock and roll and blues, and would occasionally tolerate Andrea’s country music. He enjoyed his trip to New York to see Eric Clapton’s Crossroad Guitar Festival.

Jeff had a gentle soul with kids and animals. He made every adventure a little more comical. He will be missed by many.

Jeff was predeceased by his mother, father, grandparents Phyllis and Paul Poole, and his sister, Candy Barter.

He is survived by his wife, Andrea Gray; his dog, Chance; his brother, Randy Durgan and his children, Aaron and Sara; his brother, Jody Durgan and son, Blake; Candy’s children, Kaitlin, Ashley, Madison and Matthew Connelly; his grandmother, Elizabeth Rogers; his aunt Cindy Lewis and husband, Mark; his aunt Kathy Frizzell and husband, William Dighton; as well as a huge extended family and many friends.

Visiting hours for Jeff will be held on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 10 a.m., with a Celebration of Life to follow at 11 a.m. at Hall’s of Boothbay. Doug Wood will be officiating. A reception will follow at the Knights of Pythias Hall, Boothbay Lodge #32, Lakeside Drive, Boothbay. All are welcome.

Hall’s of Boothbay has care of the arrangements. To extend online condolences, light a candle for Jeff, or to share a story or pictures, visit his Book of Memories at www.hallfuneralhomes.com.
