John Franklin "Frank" Gray

John Franklin “Frank” Gray, of Miami, Oklahoma, passed peacefully, in his home, on March 24, 2025. He was born on October 24, 1935, in Crystal City, Tx. After marrying the love of his life, Dolly, in 1958, he served in The United States Army. Upon discharge, in 1963, they settled in Miami and started their amazing life together. Frank and Dolly started their first agriculture business shortly thereafter, eventually opening Craig County Farm Supply, in Welch, Oklahoma in 1991 and remained there until retirement in 2008. Frank’s life could never be adequately described in a few paragraphs, but was punctuated with fun and love. His love for his family and friends was unmistakable. Everyone who knew him, knew he would go out of his way to help anyone in any way possible. Frank was surrounded by friends wherever he travelled and was dearly loved by all who knew him. He enjoyed the outdoors and spent endless hours hiking in the woods, hunting, and fishing, accompanied by his faithful canine companion, Odie. After a lifetime of work, Frank and Dolly took advantage of retirement to travel the world together, one of their great passions. Frank was a very spiritual man and treasured his relationship with the Lord. He is certainly rejoicing to be reunited in Heaven with those who went before him. The last months of Franks’s life were spent at home with the care of his dear wife and granddaughter, Emily, with the assistance of his phenomenal hospice nurses, Temple Monroe and Dylan Massey. Frank touched so many hearts during his 89 years. His absence will leave a hole in many souls. Frank is survived by his wife, Dolly, daughter Lynda (Chris] Mhoon; daughter-in-law Jamie Gray; grandchildren Emily (Seth) Chernak, John (Rebecca) Gray III, Joshua (Alissa) Gray, Jacob Gray, Melody Gray, Christopher Mhoon, and Jaxson Mhoon; great grandchildren John “Jack” Gray IV, Laurel Gray, Bennett Gray, Ila Gray, and Ryleigh Gray. He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Selma Gray; siblings Jenny Lou See, Nellie Ede, Elnora Morris, Hugh Gray, and Bessie Hossman; son John “Frankie” Gray II and infant son, Kenneth Gray. The love he gave over his many years was equaled only by the love he received. There will be a Celebration of Life for Frank 11:00 AM, Monday, March 31, 2025 at First United Methodist Church in Miami with Reverend Robert Rose officiating. Services have been placed in the care of Brown-Winters Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Miami.
