Joe Gray of Coulee City, WA

Joe Don Gray, 66, of Coulee City, Washington, was born on May 14, 1959, in El Centro, California, to Tom and Betty Gray.

Joe was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose life was defined by hard work, loyalty, and a deep love for his family. He spent his career in construction, working as a business owner, heavy equipment operator, and construction superintendent. Joe took great pride in his work and the projects he helped build, leaving behind a legacy that will stand for years to come.

Outside of work, Joe found his greatest joy in the outdoors. Whether hunting in the quiet of the early morning or fishing alongside family and friends, those moments brought him peace and happiness. He was known for his strong presence, steady guidance, and the way he showed love through both his actions and his time.

Above all, Joe will be remembered as a loving husband to his wife, Debbie Gray, and a proud father to his children, Jacob, Tressie, and Misty. His grandchildren—Bodhi, Grace, Kade, Maddison, Macy, and Zoey—were the light of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them. He is also survived by his mother, Betty Gray; his brothers, Bob and Russell; his sister, Carla; and many nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly.

Joe was preceded in death by his father, Tom Gray; his sister, Sue Zimbleman; and his father- and mother-in-law, George and Gloria Eddy.

Joe’s life was a testament to dedication, strength, and love. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
