Gilbert was born on July 18, 1954 in Navasota, Texas to Gilbert William and Mildred (Peters) Druckhammer.

Gilbert was a loyal employee of Mid-South Synergy for 35 year until his retirement in 2013. He was also a dedicated member of the Navasota Evening Lions Club for the last 11 years. Throughout his life, Gilbert found happiness with his family and those he considered family. He loved time at the deer lease, the “Singleton Hilton” where he was known as Bubba Ray. However, the one place that held his heart the most was Port O’ Connor, Gilbert and Glenda’s second home. Gilbert Ray never met a stranger, and always wore a smile.
