Obituary of Bob Gray

It is with deep sadness that the family of Robert Allen Gray announces his passing on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at his home. Born in Saint John, NB on December 24, 1957, Robert was the son of the late Ora and Alice (Myatt) Gray.  

Bob will be lovingly remembered by his loving wife, Brenda; his children: Amanda Kyle (Kris) of Plumweseep, NB, Jennifer Douthwright (Neal) of New Line, NB, Amy Chalifoux (Jason) of Edmonton, AB, and Matthew Gray (Amber) of Hammondvale, NB; his grandchildren: Rylley, Logan, Jaxson, Bailey, Sam, Jayden, Luke, Savannah, Skylar, Nolan, and Wilder; and his great Granddaughter, Rori-Ann. 

Bob was a not a man of many words who enjoyed the simpler things in life. A good dog, country music, and a cold beer surrounded by friends and family with Brenda by his side were his truest pleasures in life.  

In his younger years he loved working in the woods, driving down an old dirt road, playing darts, horseshoes, and cards.  He also was community minded as he was a founding volunteer member of the Hammond Jefferies Corner Fire Department. He also was often found at the local Hammond rink. Towards the end of his career, he had a decorated service for the Commissionaires where he especially enjoyed his time with the employees at the local potash mine. 

Bob met the love of his life Brenda, and they had a proud 47 years together and that is where his legacy started. From there they had three girls Bob always longed for a boy, his family was complete when his son was born. All his children meant the world to him.  From then grandchildren and great grandchildren came along and he enjoyed spoiling them.  

Arrangements have been entrusted to Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, NB (506-433-1176), from where a celebration of life will take place on Sunday, September 13 at 2:00pm. 

Bob is pre-deceased by his mother, father and brother Barry Gray. Bob appreciated the time spent with his father- in- law George Dyer.
