Troy Graffigna Obituary

Troy A. Graffigna passed away suddenly in Bremerton, Washington, on January 18, 2015, from heart disease at the age of 45. He was born in Lodi, California on January 28, 1969 and resided there until his family moved to Bremerton, Washington in 2005.
He loved his two daughters deeply and was a kind and gentle man who will be missed dearly by his family and friends. Troy was an avid sports fan with a passion for baseball following the SF Giants games with a tremendous memory for player's stats. He was a huge 49ers fan and was razzed by coworkers who worshipped the Seattle Seahawks. Other interest include a love of music, writing poetry, history, and he enjoyed reading Joseph Campbell's books on Mythology.
For those who knew Troy well he was known for his quick wit and humor, hilarious impersonations, wonderful smile and overall just a great guy. We will miss all the belly laughs and hold on to the precious memories of him until we meet again. He is survived by his daughters: Savanna and Sophia Graffigna of Bremerton, Washington; his parents' Pete and Janell Graffigna; his brother Brett Graffigna (Chantal); his grandparents' Alice I. Wyatt and Bill Graffigna; a nephew and neice Aiven Graffigna and Ivey Graffigna; Jennifer Boyles the mother of his daughters; a nephew Andrew Lopez of Washington and numerous Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held on February 6, 2015, at 11 a.m. at The Merlot Room in Lodi, CA. In lieu of flowers a memorial donation can be made in Troy's honor to the American Heart Association, Western States Affiliate, P.O. Box 742030, Los Angeles, CA 90074-2030.
