Lived 54 years
Bray West London · London, Kentucky
Family, friends, faith, playing ball, and work. He was a simple man. And that’s what made him the best.
Life story
Everyone who knew him. Knows that there’s not enough space to describe how great of a person he was. His final gift of donating his organs, saved 5 lives. We didn’t even know he was an organ donor until the end. But it wasn’t a surprise, knowing him, he would give the last thing he had, and he did! He’s loved and missed more and more every day.
