GUILDERLAND — “With heartfelt sorrow, we announce the passing of Timothy Gray on Nov. 10, 2023,” his family wrote in a tribute. He was 37.
Born in Albany, New York, on May 19, 1986, he was the beloved son of Raedene “Rae” Gray of Guilderland and James Gray (Terri) of Saratoga.
“After growing up in Guilderland, Timothy moved to Boston, where he flourished in a career in technology sales,” his family wrote. “Timothy’s life was marked by a profound love for adventure and exploration, evidenced by his numerous travels that enriched his understanding of the world. His passion for discovery was paralleled by his love for sports and music.
“An avid fan of the New York Yankees and the Miami Dolphins, Timothy also found great joy in music, embracing everything from rock and heavy metal to country. Concerts and sports events were more than just pastimes; they were opportunities for him to connect with friends and family, creating lasting memories.
“At the heart of Timothy’s world was his beloved dog, Chesney, a symbol of his unwavering love and kindness. Their bond was a true reflection of Timothy’s compassionate nature. Above all, Timothy’s life was anchored by his deep love for his family and friends.
“He was a beacon of joy and laughter at family gatherings, deeply treasured by his aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, Patrick Spain, Joseph Spain, Christopher Spain, David Spain, and Jacob Spain, and his endless circle of friends.
“As we bid farewell to Timothy, we hold onto the legacy of love, kindness, and the joyous spirit he shared with us all.”
