Brother, I have never had the pleasure of meeting you, but we share an ironic, yet profound spiritual connection. You brought two beautiful children into this world. Your son and daughter are now my step-children. I love them with every fiber in body. Our son is the most intelligent, curious, and quiet person anyone could meet. Our daughter is the most beautiful, creative-minded, and gentle soul anyone could know. I have enjoyed watching them grow over the years and develop into compassionate souls . It saddens me to know that you left this world, without experiencing what I live everyday...the growth and beauty of our children. I will always encourage our children to remember your life, love, and special moments that I will never know about. Brother I thank you and love you for giving me the most precious gifts a human being can receive...the blessing of raising the future leaders of this world. Our children DKG III & DLG.

Dana Kelvin Grays Jr. Was a great person to be around, he kept everybody smiling when he was in their presence. He was a devoted father, brother, and son to the Grays family. Dana loved to be around his family and friends especially when it was a family get together/ barbeque, he actually was the one to prepare the barbeque because he was the best at it! He was an intelligent person, he picked up on everything you threw his way and that's what I loved about him, he was very handy and new how to do any project you presented to him! He was my best friend/ boyfriend and though we had rocky times in our relationship which caused us to part,you will always have a place in my heart. I love and miss you Dana may you rest in peace. Love always Sakiena....
