Lyndon Graves Obituary
July 25, 1952- April 17, 2021
Remembering Buzz
A heart so open to those around him, Buzz lived on love. The lives he touched are forever enhanced by his purity of spirit and never wavering integrity.
Born in Reno and a graphic artist by trade, Buzz found solace in his adventures-from running the Boston Marathon twice to drag racing his Challenger on the flight deck of the USS Midway.
Buzz found GOD in ALL.
May his passing bring warm reflections to all who knew him.
Buzz is survived by his Best Friend and Brother Holly Graves, sister-in-law Sara, niece Ginger Graves, and many other nieces, nephews, cousins and canines.
We Love you Buzz.
Graveside service to be held on May 16th at 3pm at The Mohawk Cemetery B, Graeagle, CA.

Buzzy, you were a sweet and very thoughtful young man. When I was pregnant, you were caring and always available. When Ginger arrived, you became a wonderful uncle thru all her years. We both love you still. Margo Wellington

Buzzy was a sweet teenager when I met him. He was quietly considerate and very loving to ginger and I. He did things to make me feel included and valued in the family by treating me as a sister.
Through the years, he always maintained the very same kindness and love to my family. There were not many like him in this world and I miss him.
Love always.

Saddened to hear of your passing my friend. Fond memories of us being homeroom seat mates at BGHS in the late 60's. Heaven is even a better place now. Rest in peace Buzzy.
