Scott Gavin Gray, age 66, passed away on November 19, 2020. He was born in Aurora on September 27, 1954, to Charleen and William Gray.
Scott grew up and attended school in Oswego. He had a happy childhood with lots of neighborhood baseball games, hide and seek after dark and corn roasts. He became interested in guitars at the age of 12 and became an accomplished guitar player. He started a band with friends and enjoyed playing whenever requested.
Scott graduated from Oswego High School in 1972 and learned auto mechanics on the job at Standard Motor Sales in Plano. He married his high school sweetheart, Diana Twait on January 10th 1976. Scott was very handy like his father, and could fix anything. He loved the outdoors and spent vacations in Canada and White Pines Park. The family spent a lot of time camping with his beloved dog, Heidi.
Scott is survived by his children, Aubrey (Angela) Gray of Dekalb, Kelsey Gray of Somonauk; his grandson, Odin of Somonauk; Diana Gray of Somonauk, his mother, Charleen Gray of Oswego; and his sister Janeen Pienkos of Oswego. He was preceded in death by his father, William Gray and his maternal aunt, Delores Huntley.
