Grayson Paul Everaard
My name is Grayson Paul Everaard, my friends call me Gray! I am 4 years old! I’m a pretty sweet little boy if I say so myself! I love my brother Seth and my mom and dad too. I have alot of fun trying to keep up with the “big kids” but when they get away from me I can let out an ear piercing shrill of a scream that anyone who knows me can identify from a mile away! I have a big personality and am often called the “class clown” of my home. I’m every bit the comedian and will do pretty much anything for a laugh. I have to admit, I’m a bit obsessive compulsive at times and love to line up everyone’s stray shoes in front of the fireplace. I’m awnry and full of life and, don’t tell mom, but I can get out of most any trouble with one sly smile! I have you all wrapped around my little finger! I love cornbread, cheese and Co-Co (that’s coke to most of you!) and I was lucky enough to inherit my mama’s sweet tooth. My mom named me Gray because she felt she needed to give me a “strong” name. My name means wisdom and both strength and wisdom have been the backbone for me and my family lately. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma Cancer over a year ago. My world is crazy and unpredictable right now but I appreciate all your prayers. Blowing kisses and love to you all!

Grayson Everaard, age 4, went to Heaven on Sunday, May 13, 2012 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born December 4, 2007 in Ponca City, OK to Doug and Jill Everaard. Grayson loved life and lived it to the fullest. He liked collecting bugs and butterflies and playing with his dinosaurs and dragons. But Grayson’s true love was to play with and hang out with his “Hero” his older brother, Seth. Gray is survived by his parents, Doug and Jill, and his brother, Seth, of the home in Mustang, OK. He is also survived by his grandparents, Ralph and Joan Fogle and Ron and Carol Everaard, great grandfather Paul Oldham, uncle Pete Fogle and uncle and aunt Kent and Rachel Everaard. Extended family include Tom and Carol Lampert, Ann Callender, Ron and Roxanne Oldham, numerous cousins and close friends. (The Oklahoman)

into your hands
Heavy hearts and tear stained cheeks bring us here tonight. Late this evening, Gray went to be with the Lord. Our physical bodies are tired and grieving but our faith reminds us that Gray is now pain free, full of energy and beginning eternity in heaven.
While we walk the next few days we ask for privacy. We love reading your thoughts and prayers but if you would please leave them as comments on this post or simply email them through this website it would be greatly appreciated. As Gray’s funeral service is planned we hope to post a more intimate entry in honor of our son, his life and the countless lives he has touched. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Your constant support has been much appreciated and will continue to lift us up in the coming days.

My Story
Growing up, I was always fascinated by the power of words. Whether it was the way a simple phrase could evoke deep emotions or how a story could transport me to another world, I found solace in the pages of books. Writing became my sanctuary, a place where I could explore my thoughts and feelings, crafting tales that reflected the world around me and the one within. However, the journey to becoming a writer was far from easy. I faced countless rejections, moments of self-doubt, and the ever-present fear of not being good enough. Yet, each setback only fueled my determination to succeed.
I poured my heart into every manuscript, learning and growing with each word I wrote. Eventually, my persistence paid off, and my first novel was published. The overwhelming response from readers confirmed that I was on the right path. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my stories with a global audience, each book a new chapter in my journey as a writer.
