The Brycen Gray Memorial Foundation

"You’ve got a friend in me"

ABOUT BRYCEN GRAY

Brycen Gray was a 17-year-old man from Strongsville, OH, with a larger-than-life personality, infectious smile, and heart of gold. Whether you met him once or knew him his entire life, he was impossible not to love. Brycen was a junior at St. Edward High School, played football and
lacrosse, and dreamed of becoming a firefighter. He was a bright light to everyone he met and had an even brighter future ahead of him.

On April 23, 2021, those dreams were taken from him when Brycen took his own life. Brycen did not suffer from depression or any other mental health struggles. He became ill with COVID-19 before taking his life and experienced extreme neurological effects from the virus. Brycen
suffered from COVID psychosis, and research has shown at least one in three COVID patientssuffer from this side effect. On April 23, 2021, Brycen’s parents, brothers, family, and friends suffered an unimaginable loss.

MEMORIES OF BRYCEN

Pat Lavelle

I was driving the boys home for St.Ed’s and when we dropped off Brycen, Joe asked about the car in the driveway. With a big fat grin on his face, Brycen told us, it was going to be his when he got his license. Then he told us to look at the license plate frame, “Saturdays Are For The Boys”.

Ava

One of my fav memories was this day. We got kicked out of a bowling alley then ate at Applebee’s. We went to Anabel’s and had a dance party, that Bryce was the life of. His laugh and smile was contagious. We sat on this ball together dancing. My favorite videos ever!

Owen

When we were in Siesta Key this past Spring Break and every time we would do anything you scream out “We about to get active”. Love you bro stay active up there

Jack Riley

One of my favorite mems is riding the frogged in Siesta Key with Brycen and every time, no matter the occasion, Brycen would request a song and then no matter what, stand up and start dancing and singing like nobody was watching. #B6
