Kimberly(Kim) Renee Gray-Barber, age 59, passed away in her home surrounded by her family early in the morning on January 17, 2020 after a brief battle with cancer.
Kim was born on a cold day to Patsy Caraway-Bryant and Wamon Gray on November 5th, 1960. We are told she was a wonderful baby and an even better big sister to her siblings whom she had a large hand in raising their entire lives. She was a natural caregiver and had a heart for servant leadership.
She invested whole-heartedly in those she loved including her biological children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews but countless others who she took in, mentored, cared for, prayed for, helped and was there to just listen to her entire life. Her legacy is that of faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is Love. She cared about people fiercely and “worried” about so many people in her 59 years with us. She wanted to see us do well, love one another, be proud of our accomplishments no matter how small, be faithful, and trust In God’s timing, even if we didn’t trust it ourselves. She was fiercely smart and tough as nails. She worked hard at everything she did her entire life. She NEVER gave up, even when she sometimes wanted to, and always said, “ If you fall down, you owe it to yourself and the people that need you to brush off and stand back up, even if its 100 times.”
Her faith in God was steadfast and unshakeable. It was embedded into her everyday life her entire life.
She was funny and had the BEST giggle, laugh and smile that will be eternally missed.
She loved country music, especially George Straight and Gary Alan, loved working in her yard and mowing her OWN GRASS, watching her grandbabies grow, and Diet Coke, but above all else she loved Jesus and her family.
Family to Kim was not just blood relatives, but were people who respected Kim, learned from her, listened to her and respected her opinions, her mentorship, her life lessons, and even what NOT to do that stretched her lifetime from grade school to recently. She prayed for these people, she loved them and wanted to see them be happy, joyful, and learn the importance of strong relationships and love for each other.
She will be so greatly missed, but we know Kim wouldn’t want us to cry, because she is finally home.
We would like to celebrate Kim’s amazing extraordinary life on January 25th at 3:00p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church in Gainesville Texas. All who knew, loved, and cared about Kim are welcome to attend.
She is survived in death by her daughters Amber Barber-Taylor and spouse Dustin Taylor, Renee Barber-Cheaney and spouse Tommy Cheaney, her grandchildren, Tatem Barber, Tristan Taylor and Houston Cheaney, her siblings Mark Callihan and wife Leann Callihan, Cody Bryant and wife Brenda Bryant, Mike Callihan and wife Shanna Callihan, Terra Green, Roddy Gray, and Whitney Gray, numerous nieces and nephews whom she adored, cousins, and life-long friends Kim considered family.
She is preceded in death by her mother and dad Patsy Caraway-Bryant and George L Bryant, and her grandparents, whom were all waiting with open arms for her when she arrived home.
family has asked that instead of flowers, you consider donating to one of the below organizations in Kim’s name:
