Barry Grayson
Barry Travis Grayson, 57, of Chattanooga.
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.
