Gray is survived by his wife, Angie Russell Maggard, his sons Justin(Amanda) and Adam, grandchildren Addison and Aiden and his bonus children Nathan(Amanda) and Savannah(Alex).
Gray spent many years as volunteer EMS and Fire Dept, Natural Resources Police Officer, Investigator at the OCME, volunteering on the board of directors for an organization supporting historic preservation and reenactment, lifting spirits and standing as a steadfast pillar in camp. Whether around the fire, in camp, or among friends, he was someone people could count on. His kindness, humor, and steady presence helped make our community stronger.
Gray was a loving husband and father, and a beloved friend to many. Our hearts are with his wife, his children, and all who loved him during this difficult time.
Gray had always loved the Maryland Renn Faire WmEarly on in dating I started taking him to pirate events and Piratz Tavern (RIP) in Silver Spring. That led to him meeting my pirate family and him falling in love with Piracy. Over the years Gray started doing the events with me and became part of the Pirate family and active with Sons of the Waves a non profit that promoted education.
