Kevin Gray

May your souls rest in peace

Affable, caring, conscientious and dedicated are the personal qualities that Kevin embodied. Over the twenty years we worked together, I never once found Kevin too tired or overwhelmed to lend a helping hand to others. He remained relentlessly passionate about his work at DDI, and the organization’s exceptional growth would not have been possible without his energy and expertise.

Kevin had a unique sense of humor. I never had a conversation with him where he didn’t make me laugh at some point. His wit and humor will forever put a smile on my face and I will surely miss that.

From the first time I met Kevin at DDI he was a friend. We so enjoyed talking about our families and the memories we had of growing up. Kevin loved talking about his children and was always upbeat and so willing to help out in any situation. He was a special blessing in my life and to many others

I cant even find any words to put here. I worked side-by-side with Kev for over 20 years. We had so many laughs, and so many life changes together. He always loved talking about his children and family. He loved DDI. KEVIN GRAY, I’m going to miss you every day. ❌❌⭕️⭕️

Kevin, Oh how you will be missed, what a void you leave for so many. You were such an outstanding, sweet and funny person who ran deep. Even in your early 20’s you were such a good kid, a stand up guy, smart and dependable. As we got older,I loved to hear about your kids, reminisce about your parents and how your dad taught me how to start tomatoes indoors. I have never met anyone who did not like you and have good things to say 🙂 You were so devastated at Tom’s services, you said you could not imagine that he was no longer on earth. Well tonight believe me, many people are feeling the same about you. Thank you for being you. Rest in peace my friend.

I have known Kevin since the early years when he along with brother Pat would arrive at Hollywood Dr. and be assigned various maintenance jobs by their dad John who worked in the finance dept. John and mom Shelia the school nurse introduced the boys to what would evolve into lifelong careers for both Kevin and Pat at DDI.

As Director of Buildings and Grounds, Kevin took on many challenges through the years and could always be counted on to get the job done whether it involved an individual residence or major program expansion.

Kevin was truly member of the DDI family. He was totally committed to ensuring that those served would always have a place to learn, recreate and live that reflected the highest standard of care. Kevin was loved by all those who worked with him through the years. We are all the better for having spent time with him, yet for now our hearts are broken at the loss of our dear friend Kevin.

Kevin,
Been too many years since we spent time together however always enjoyed every minute. From NBHS and OGD days sporting the coolest car of everyone “Trans Am”and always cracking a joke and busting on those who deserved it. Looks like a lovely family you have and my deepest condolences to all.
Pat its a tough club and so very sad for you.
Kevin May your SOUL SHINE down upon your family Each day forward my friend. You’ll be missed by so many. With warm regards, Michael OB
