Barry Grayson

Barry’s ride arrived on July 10, gathering his free spirit to join with his father, Travis Grayson who preceded him in death. Barry’s philosophy was, “We all have a start date and end date. Everything between those dates is the ride.” Many knew Barry for his gentle spirit. Ever a gentleman, well dressed, happy, and meticulously neat; Barry’s greatest attribute was his authenticity. Appreciating the fleeting nature of life, Barry never wasted a moment. To those closest to his heart, he shared his favorite pastimes: listening to great music, playing bocce at the beach, enjoying a round of golf, trips to Keeneland, riding motorcycles and playing his bass guitar. He is survived by his wife Jennifer Grayson; his mother, Frances Maynor Grayson; his mother-in-law Jane Yendell; two sister-in-laws, several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins; and close friends. In keeping with Barry’s wishes of not dwelling on sadness, the family is foregoing a memorial service at this time. Barry was always best when at the beach, therefore a private service will be held in the future returning him to his favorite place on earth. In lieu of flowers or food, celebrate Barry’s memory, go to iTunes, take a risk on a new artist, download and enjoy.
