David Gratt Obituary
David Gratt passed away on February 27, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and unwavering commitment to his family.
A devoted husband of 63 years, David shared a lifetime of love and partnership with his beloved wife, Dolly. Together they built a family grounded in loyalty, resilience, and love for one another beyond compare.
He was a proud and loving father to his son, Troy, who thought the world of him, and to his daughter, Audrey, who is so very much like him.
As "Papa" to his granddaughters, Jessica and Jamie, he was a constant source of laughter, guidance, and unconditional love. They adored him, and he cherished every moment spent with them.
David was deeply loved by his family. His passing leaves a space in their lives that can never truly be filled - except by the countless memories of his unyielding strength, his wicked humor, and the limitless love he gave us all so freely.
