He graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1970 and went on to meet Angela Hossman, marrying and producing two surviving children: Charles Guy Gray JR and Charity M. Gray. They divorced and eventually in 1981, Chuck met Mary M. Jones, they would get married on January 21, 1982, and produced their only child together, Charles Anthony Gray in 1984.

Chuck had many occupations over the years, eventually starting his own business, Budget Copiers. After over thirty years, he medically retired in January of 2023. The business is carried on by his surviving son, Charles A. Gray.
