John "Pat" Graybeal Obituary
Pat is survived by his wife of seventy years Jill; his daughter, Nancy Graybeal and husband William McNeil; son-in-law: Christopher K. Minnigh (Julia); and other extended family and friends. They will remember him for his quiet dignity, faith, humility and kindness. He was a true gentleman and respected every person he met. He was a world traveler, a great reader, and a remarkable person - he never met a stranger.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 10 am at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Christiansburg, Virginia, with refreshments following in the fellowship hall.
The family has posted a lovely tribute of Pat's life on the website of Brown-Wynne Funeral Home in Cary, NC, please visit: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/cary-nc/john-graybeal-11714845

An amazing man (a neighbor and friend); I would see him walking almost every day; he and Jill were a lovely and loving couple. I missed him when he moved, but prayed for him (and Jill) every day!!
