John J. Gray, 70 of Keystone, NE, passed away Saturday, January 15, 2022 at Ogallala Community Hospital.
John married Brenda Cross on April 19, 1974 in Mitchell Nebraska. To this union three children were born, Dale, Neil and Wendy.
One of John’s favorite moments in life was working with his sons, Dale and Neil, in the well service. John took pleasure in the outdoors and hunted often with several of his family members. One thing he didn’t enjoy was fishing, and his family knew it was because he didn’t have the patience for a fish to bite the hook. John appreciated the time he spent with his wife, his sister Janet, and Janet’s husband, Roger Skinner. You could catch this bunch gambling when they had the chance. Not only did he enjoy gambling, but if there was a card game ready to be played, John joined in.
