In Loving Memory of Zayne Hannah-Gray 🕊️
It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we remember and honor the life of Zayne Hannah-Gray, a beloved 19-year-old from Lebanon, whose life was tragically cut short following a fatal two-vehicle crash on Friday night at the intersection of Berlin Road and McDowell Creek Drive, according to the Linn County Sheriff’s Office.
Zayne was more than a name in a headline — he was a bright soul, a cherished son, a loyal friend, and a light in the lives of all who knew him. At just 19 years old, Zayne carried a spirit that was both gentle and powerful, filled with dreams, kindness, and a heart that made people feel seen and valued. His presence had a way of lifting the mood in any room, and his laughter was something friends and family will forever hold close in their hearts.
Growing up in Lebanon, Zayne made an impact through his warm nature and genuine compassion for others. He was known for his willingness to help without hesitation, his respectful manners, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether it was offering a listening ear, a comforting hug, or a simple smile, Zayne had an extraordinary way of making people feel that they mattered.
Those who loved Zayne describe him as thoughtful, caring, and full of potential. He had dreams for his future and aspirations that reflected his kind heart and strong character. Though his time on earth was brief, the imprint he left on the world is deep and lasting. He taught those around him the value of kindness, loyalty, and living life with honesty and courage.
The tragic accident at Berlin Road and McDowell Creek Drive has left a void that cannot be filled and a silence that feels overwhelming. Yet in the midst of this grief, we choose to remember Zayne for the beautiful life he lived, not the way it ended. We remember his smile, his energy, and the love he freely gave.
To Zayne’s family, friends, and loved ones, we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers. May you find comfort in the memories you shared, the love that surrounds you, and the legacy of kindness Zayne leaves behind. Though words can never ease this kind of pain, please know that you are not alone in your grief.
Zayne Hannah-Gray, your life mattered. Your love mattered. Your presence mattered. You will forever live on in the stories we share, the laughter we recall, and the love that will never fade.
Rest in peace, Zayne. 🕊️
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
