Title: RIP Steve Gray
Post by: AmyHollar on December 08, 2011, 10:49:39 AM: For the second time this year I am terribly saddened to learn of the passing of someone special by their own hand.

Steve had such a warm personality I just can not fathom why he would choose to leave behind those who cared about him, especially his children.

May God grant them all serenity...............and peace to Steve. redrose

"Got an early christmas present today...a restraining order,evicted from my house and i cant see my kids. U live with someone for fourteen years and you think you know them.dont count on it.. Merry Christmas"

I saw the post too, but thought little of it. I really cannot place Steve. Not sure I actually knew the man in person, but his name sure sounds familiar.
