Walter C. Gray

April 8, 1932 - December 31, 2021

Walter C. Gray, 89, of Sandusky, passed away after a brief illness on December 31, 2021 at Providence Care Center. He was born on April 8, 1932 in Waynesville, MO to the late William Clayton and Florence Ida (Phillips) Gray. He was a 1949 graduate of Waynesville High School, a 1960 graduate of the Missouri School of Mines, and a 1968 graduate of St. Louis University, where he earned his Master’s in Engineering. Walter proudly served in the United States Army from 1952-1954 and was in the Army Reserves until 1958. As a young teenager he attended a traveling “tent evangelist’s” meeting. Given the invitation to accept Jesus Christ, Walter’s heart was stirred and he was saved at the altar. A self-taught guitarist, he joined the crusade musicians, playing and singing for the services throughout the community. Walter was faithful in service to the Lord. Over the years he led music, taught Sunday School, served in leadership, and as treasurer. Walter most recently worshipped at Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene. Walter is survived by his wife, Sandra Kay Mumau-Gray; sons, Wayne C. (Paula), of Sedalia, MO, Wade C. (Monica), of Sandusky, and Jeffery J. (Dani), of Shawnee, KS; and grandchildren, Wesley, Timothy, Lucas, Joel, Halle, Kerrigan, and Savannah. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth Elaine (Gouge) Gray, in 2017; and first wife, Charlotte, in 1970. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 15, 2022 in the Memorial Chapels and Crematory of Waynesville / St. Robert. Burial with military honors will follow in the Waynesville Memorial Park Cemetery of Waynesville. Visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. until time of service at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, January 15, 2022 in the Memorial Chapels and Crematory of Waynesville / St. Robert. Mr. Gray is survived by his wife: Sandra Kay Mumau-Gray; three sons: Wayne C. Gray (Paula) of Sedalia, MO, Wade C. Gray (Monica) of Sandusky, OH, and Jeffery J. Gray (Dani) of Shawnee, KS; seven grandchildren: Welsey, Timothy, Lucas, Joel, Halle, Kerrigan, and Savannah; other relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene and may be left at the funeral home.
