He married Vickie Pyle on March 14, 1991, where they resided in Angleton for the entirety of their blessed marriage. Ronnie Gray was a devoted and loving husband, who also loved his children, Amanda Green, Joshua Green, and Katie Cadenhead, and grandchildren, Phoenix Lusk and Eliza Gray Cadenhead. Ronnie lived in Birmingham until the age of 13, when he moved to Angleton and met his future bride, Vickie Pyle, at Angleton Junior High. He graduated from Angleton High School in 1983. He went on to Stephen F. Austin to major in "partying" for one whole semester before joining the United States Air Force. He spent a year of his service stationed in Iceland which he greatly enjoyed. After serving in the USAF for four years and then six years in the Texas Air Force National Guard, he began his career at Dow Chemical in Freeport, TX, where he retired in November 2017 as the Operations Leader in Site Pipeline Operations and Infrastructure, after spending 26 years with Dow Chemical. Ronnie graduated from the University of Houston in 2005 with a BBA in Operations Management. Ronnie enjoyed fishing, golfing, and spending as much time as he could on beautiful beaches with his family. He was proud to be a certified deep-sea diver, rugby player, Freemason, and die-hard Alabama fan. His most recent joy in life was being "Pops" to his precious "Baby E."
