Background
Gray is the son of Dan and Mitzi Gray of Edgewater, Florida. In Hellyeah's DVD, Below the Belt, he talks of how his grandmother, Betty Rau, raised him and would bring him to perform in choir.
In 2005, Gray's grandmother died after battling cancer for several years. Gray dedicated the Hellyeah song "Thank You" to his grandmother and also wrote Mudvayne's "Death Blooms" about her illness.
That same year he married Kelli Olson; the couple have a home in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
