Asher Leyland Gay

ASHER LEYLAND GAY was born March 16, 1992 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Montgomery County, Maryland. Asher was educated at the Maiden Choice School in Arbutus, Maryland. During his time there he became good friends with his classmates Keva (Felicia's daughter) and Shanquille (Lisa's daughter). They became an inseparable trio.

They always partied together for their birthdays, proms and graduations. They even followed each other to Progress Unlimited Medical Adult Daycare in Owings Mills so that they could continue to keep in touch with each other.

Asher always loved to travel with his family. His favorite vacation spots were Disney Cruise, Disney World, and Six Flags. He also enjoyed going to the movies and shopping with his mom Demetria and brother Antione.

Asher leaves to cherish his memory, two mothers Demetria and Ramona; one brother Antione; three aunts Danielle, Tammy, and Shawn; one uncle Maurice; and a host of cousins and friends.

The family will receive visitors on Monday, May 16 from 10 - 11 am at the ECKHARDT FUNERAL CHAPEL, P.A, 11605 Reisterstown Road, Owings Mills, MD 21117, where a funeral service will begin at 11 am.

Interment is private.

"I'm Free"

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free;
I'm following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I've now found peace at the end of the day.
If parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free!
