John Gray who is from Sacramento and lived in Clarksburg passed away on 12/24/2021 after being hit by a car while out walking. The driver called 911 but John had already passed by the time they arrived. Karen McMaster a long time friend of John's let us know. She is working on a Celebration of Life for John in February and will contact me once the date, time and place have been decided. He did attend the 50th class reunion! John will be missed by many. RIP John 🌹

Dear fellow classmates... my recollections of John were that he had a very quiet and demurre personality! A Good looking guy with many friends... we will miss you John, and deepest condolences to his family and all those who mourn his loss... best wishes, Jim...

John was a very kind caring man and a very hard worker. We saw him a couple months ago he was over here at our place helping put up a new gate. We had lunch several times together the three of us. My husband and him we're also good friends and had known each other for a long long time. We were shocked to hear the news about John. My husband just talked to him two weeks ago on the phone. Just know that he will be greatly missed he was a good friend. 😞

Yes, you are correct Jim in that John was a quiet guy. He was a very standup, respectable teen and adult. He was an incredible artist when it came to his welding skills. He was still creating beautiful work for wineries, specifically Draconis. He was looking forward to the 70th birthday party that keeps getting postponed thanks to the dreaded virus. As soon as we set a date and place for his celebration of life it will get posted. Like so many of our classmates, gone too soon. Rest in peace sweet John.
