On March 9,1994 a bright light was born named Tyree Gray. The son of Kelly Gray and Toby Payne was born in Baltimore, MD. Even though he was the son of Kelly his aunt Tiesha will tell you he was her son too. God told his angel on September 12,2024 that he has done a job well done and called him home.
Receiving his education through the Baltimore City Public School system he encountered many different people and affected them all in many ways.
While navigating through life he received multiple certifications from his employments within BWI airport, Fast Food Restaurants and Warehouse jobs. Before his transition he was apart of the City of Baltimore DPW family and he was going to work towards getting his CDLs with them. He was the Head of Security for Hanks Productions and a key member to the organization. He has experienced different cities, met different comedians and left such a special mark with them as well.
On March 21,2015 Tyree exchanged numbers with Toni. They both never knew the connection that day would turn into the Greatest Love Story. Within the 9 years together they have created many memories that can last a lifetime. Tyree has changed so many generational curses within his family and has made traditions that has made all of us close. Creating two beautiful daughters and family out of love that all they exhibit is pure love. He became such an amazing father and husband despite the lack of guidance. He made sure they never lacked for anything , experienced everything he did plus more and also made sure they were happy always. During their relationship they traveled and experienced so many different firsts together from traveling , family gatherings , family vacations and etc. Even though their story was cut short the love they exhibited to each other shows it was the purest form of REAL LOVE.
He was a gentle giant with and amazing heart who protected everyone he loved, he made you feel comfortable and was the life of the party, from a game of Spades to him yelling "IT'S SHOT-O'CLOCK"
