Charles “Kevin” Gray, of Culpeper, VA, passed away peacefully on his birthday Thursday, October 24, 2024 at the age of 63.
Kevin was born October 24, 1961, in Arlington, VA, son of the late James Handevidt and Janice Mosser Handevidt. In his early life, Kevin lived in both Northern Virginia and Laceyville, Pennsylvania. He started his long-time career as a construction worker in his early twenties and was a proud member of The National Asbestos Workers Local 24 until his retirement. He worked on government buildings; his most notable being the Phoenix Project, where he was bestowed the honor to help rebuild the Pentagon after the damage endured from the September 11 terrorist attacks. Kevin lived the majority of his adult life at the beautiful Lake Anna, VA and eventually moved to Culpeper, VA after his two daughters were grown. Kevin was passionate about his family, especially his kids and grandchildren. He loved his motorcycles since he was a boy and will forever be a “Harley” man in the minds of people that loved him. Kevin was also a loyal Washington fan for life (HTTR)! Kevin will be remembered for being the best dad and grandpa in the world, a funny, carefree spirit, as well as a loyal and true friend.
Kevin is survived by his two daughters, Tara Gray and Kayla Gray; three grandchildren Kaydon, Kolton, and Kora; one brother, James Gray; one sister, Tammy Coleman, as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Kevin was preceded in death by a brother, John Follin; a sister, Vickie Eckert; and a nephew, Travis Coleman. A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, November 17, 2024 beginning at 1:00 PM in the upstairs event hall at Skyline Ranch Resort, 751 Mountain Rd, Front Royal, VA 22630. Flowers can directly be sent to his daughters Tara & Kayla Gray at 2152 Rivermont Dr, Front Royal, VA 22630 to be displayed at the Celebration of Life. Scheduled delivery on November 15 or 16 only.

Kevin will surely be missed. we grew up together. And he was a lifelong friend. As kids we road dirt bikes together. As adults we went to a lot dances. Kevin was always up for a good time. If he was your friend he would always stand up for you. RIP and fly high my dear friend.
Kevin was a good honest man, a good ole boy❤️. Nowadays men like him are few and far between. He always made everyone in the room laugh till we cried with all of his jokes. He had some good ones! I could never tell ‘em like he did! Lotsa fun trips to Captain John’s in Cobb Island on rainy days. He was one of the first people we met when we first moved to Lake Anna. We will surely miss him and his big smile, and ❤️!
I got to know Kevin through the Featherstone crew of Friends. I thought Kevin was a REALLY GREAT Man and I liked him a lot. He will be DEARLY MISSED.
So deeply saddened for this family’s loss, many moons ago I regarded Kevin as my second Dad and his house my second home with my high-school best friend, Kayla and her older sister Tara. ❤️ Having a place to go and be feral and free got me through some of the toughest times in my life. He was always welcoming, even if a bit grumpy 😅 I will always cherish those fond memories that helped shape me!
P.S- Sorry for all the watered down liquor over the years 🤣
Good rest high on that Mountain big guy, ya done good ❤️
