Andrew Lee Graves, 21, passed away on Dec 21st, 2024, in Wichita KS. Andrew was born to Tracy Embray on December 19th, 2003, in Wichita. Andrew enjoyed basketball as a child, he was an amazing artist, enjoyed music and gaming, hanging out with his many friends, was very particular about what he wore, and always wanted to look his best, but above all else he loved being a father. Always wanting to be with his son. The word brother doesn't even begin to encompass Andrew. He was a brother to everyone who was in his life. Throughout his life Andrew and his biological brother Donovan were best friends. They fought like brothers but at the end of the day they would have died for each other. Andrew wasn't the same after Donovan passed. Andrew found a new hope for life when he had Gio. Andrew would light up when he was around him. Being a dad came so naturally to Andrew. He was amazing with Gio from the very beginning. Giovanni was Andrews entire life. Andrew is survived by so many who loved him including Giovanni (Son) Tracy Embray (Mother), Abby Bryant (sister), Ehme Linner (sister), Kevin and Jenny Graves (bonus parents), Monica Rodriguez and Misti Graves (bonus sisters), Jack and Nathan Graves (bonus brothers), Janae Graves (niece), Andrew also leaves behind many other friends and family who are all greatly impacted by Andrews death. He was proceeded in death by his brother Donovan Graves, grandmother Terri Bryant, and Joan Colgan (bonus grandmother). The loss of Andrew leaves an unbelievable hole in everyone's lives he touched. A private funeral service will be held for friends and family.
