Diane Grayson (Goloby) (1971)
My brother, Mike Grayson, class of '65, passed away May 19, 2021 from a long illness. His wife Linda Brown Grayson '66, preceded him in death April 2020. They have two daughters, Jamie Grayson and her son Max, and Karen Grayson Kostor and her husband Dave Kostor.
We are grateful to Karen and Dave for their diligent care of Mike and Linda for the past few years, keeping them together at home, and being there with them when they each passed from this life. Their dedication is appreciated by family and friends.
Mike played football at Sam Houston as a quarterback, and baseball with the local teams, the Colt 45s and the Red Sox. He drove his 60s Volkswagon Beetle loaded with his 9 foot surf board on the roof rack, and surfed the beaches of Galveston and Surfside on many weekends, and a few school days!
In August 1968, Mike married Linda Brown '66, and he soon joined the Marines. They were stationed at Camp Lejeune for the rest of his service where their daughter Jamie was born. Mike was a sharpshooter and was on the Marine Corps Rifle Team where he won many competitions. When his stint was done, Mike, Linda, Jamie, and poodle Sean, headed back to Houston where Mike attended the University of Houston for a Bachelors in Accounting, and later a Masters. Their second child, Karen, was born and they lived in Katy, Texas.
Mike's Sam Houston High relatives include cousins Carol Grayson Buchanan '62 and her husband Tommy Buchanan '62, Duane Grayson '68, Bill Grayson, and sister Diane Grayson Goloby '71. He will be missed by family, friends, and Sam Houston classmates.
