U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement honoring the life and service of his longtime aide and Arkansas veterans advocate Steve Gray:
“Steve Gray was one of a kind. He embodied the mantra of a life dedicated to God, family and country. His enthusiasm, optimistic attitude and dedication to public service was a positive influence on me, my staff and countless others.
Steve was a truly selfless person who dedicated his life to others, particularly his fellow veterans, for whom he joyfully and eagerly worked to help. He literally set the gold standard on how to deliver for veterans. It was his calling; his passion. And he changed so many lives for the better as a result of his tireless efforts.
I will forever be grateful for Steve’s service to our nation in uniform; his dedication to his fellow veterans; and most of all, his mentorship and friendship.
As we mourn his loss, and share our thoughts and prayers with his family and loved ones, let us also celebrate Steve’s inspirational life. Steve was a servant in every sense of the word and the mark he left on this world will be remembered for years to come.”
