It’s a nightmare.” The statement continued, “We have so many questions that have no answers. But one.
Was Grayson loved? The answer is yes.” They said that Murray was loved by his parents and his siblings, Cameron and Erica, as well as the rest of his family, friends, fellow golfers and “by many of you who are reading this.” “He was loved and he will be missed,” the statement read.
“We would like to thank the PGA Tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support. Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.” To conclude the statement, his parents asked for privacy as they “work through this incredible tragedy” and asked for people to honor Murray “by being kind to one another.
” “If that becomes his legacy, we could ask for nothing else. Thank you,” the statement ended. The PGA Tour announced Murray’s death in a statement May 25.
The golfer died one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Chal.
