To honor and celebrate Bray’s life, a service will be held at 6315 N. 20th Street in Phoenix on May 3 at 5 p.m.
Bray, nicknamed “Crash” during his playing days, attended Arizona first as a quarterback for Dick Tomey’s program playing three years at the position in high school at Gastonia, N.C.
He became a defensive captain by his senior year in 1992 as a linebacker as part of the famed “Desert Swarm” defense.
Heath Bray wasn’t an All-American, or all-conference, or anything like that. But loud and lovable and passionate about all things Red and Blue, he’s forever on any All-Wildcats team.
Gone toon soon from the Arizona football family at 54.https://t.co/AWmNuOVMoP
