LOOKING BACK: Emotional Eyeballerz Car Show in Calhoun, KY Celebrated Memory of Johnathan Gray

It was an inspirational day at the 7th Annual Eyeballerz Car Show. You could feel the spirit of Johnathan Gray all around. Let's take a look back and celebrate his life and legacy.

Whether you wanted to show off your classic car or check out the best vintage vehicles, there was something for everyone at the Eyeballerz Car Show Fundraiser. Saturday, September 17th, 2022, was a beautiful day at Myer Creek Park in Calhoun. Friends and family gathered to celebrate Johnathan Gray. His life was tragically cut short years ago on July 19th, 2015 by a drunk driver. He was just 24 years old. It was a blow to all who knew him. He accomplished so much in his short life and continues to inspire so many. Eyeballerz was created to keep his legacy alive and help those in need. Through their car shows and fundraising efforts, they donate all year to impact the communities Johnathan loved. It was an emotional, inspirational, and beautiful day of giving. I was blessed to be a small part of it.

WOW !! What a great day today at our 7th annual Eyeballerz car show event. We truly thank all those from vendors to spectators to Eyeballerz staff and all those who brought cars out to Myer Creek!! All funds raised today will go toward local needs as well as Christmas Wish 2022.
God Bless❤️ Glen and Johnna Gray

SPECIAL MOMENT CAPTURED

You could feel the spirit of Johnathan throughout the day. My friend, Rae Moffett Jones captured this perfect moment. A butterfly stayed with Johnna (Johnathan's Mom) for over five minutes. It flew all around her and kept landing in different places. It was a special moment in time to feel Johnathan's presence. I may have shed a tear or two!
