Supercross and Motorcross are in mourning for their cherished and gifted racer, who died lately while doing what she loved.
As she was participating in a Motocross event on her dirt bike as rider #151 on January 14, 2024, Danielle Lynn Gray, who was known by her friends as “DJ,” fell away unexpectedly while doing what she loved. In Reno, Nevada, on February 20, 2010, Danielle was finally brought into the world.
Danielle was known for her sense of humor and bubbly personality from a very young age. Danielle possessed qualities such as gentleness, generosity, bravery, and a strong desire to be of service to others. Danielle was an exceptional athlete who excelled in horseback riding, karate and motocross.
In Danielle’s brief life of 13 years, Danielle traveled to several locations around the world including Uganda where alongside her father supplied children with food, clothing and shelter. Danielle made numerous friends and was loved and admired by many.
Danielle is survived by her father Daniel, her mother Amber, step mothers Taylor and Alexa, sisters Rylee and Hazel, brother Carson, as well as countless grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and her pets Elsa, Tucker, Bentley and Diamond. Danielle was adored by many and we will miss her.
A visitation will be held on Friday, February 2nd from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Klein Funeral Home located at 14711 FM 1488 in Magnolia, Texas. A Celebration of Danielle’s life will be place on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 at 10:00 am at Klein Funeral Home.

A friend wrote a tribute; ”This is unbelievable I came across this terrible sad story about Danielle’s passing while scrolling on Facebook. Oddly enough lately My 6 year old daughter has been begging me for a motor cross bike for her 7th Birthday in June. I’m a former minor motor cross rider and I was really leaning towards a big NO! I thought this sad story would put NO in stone . But it actually did the opposite. After reading this story and looking at all of Danielle’s pictures I almost felt her energy so happy excitement on my daughter’s side convincing me to say yes … It’s was certainly a very odd convincing feeling but the truth . My prayers go out to her and her family friends … I’m convinced Danielle is an angel and I will get my daughter her first bike in June. I will also place an angel on it in memory for Danielle… God bless all.”
