Graig A. Barlett II, 38, was a remarkable son, devoted brother, loving dad, cherished uncle, and steadfast friend, proudly rooted in East Liverpool. His life was tragically cut short on Monday, July 28, 2025, due to a motorcycle accident.

Born on July 2, 1987, in Beaver, PA, Graig was the beloved son of Graig Bartlett (Kristie) of Marysville, OH, and Wendy M. Smith Maple of East Liverpool.
Graig attended East Liverpool High School and quickly became known for his exceptional mechanical skills. He had a natural talent for taking things apart and expertly rebuilding them, demonstrating an impressive aptitude that made him a true jack of all trades. His 18-year career as a truck driver was marked by his dedication and hard work, reflected in the various projects he eagerly undertook along the way. Affectionately nicknamed "Turbo" for always hitting the big hills. Graig embodied a selfless and kind nature. His outgoing personality drew people to him, and he wore his heart on his sleeve, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a smile. He found joy in buggy riding at Yellow Creek, where laughter and adventure filled the air, and he cherished every moment spent with his close friends. Yet, the greatest joy of his life was undoubtedly his children, whom he loved unconditionally.

Graig leaves behind a profound legacy and will be deeply missed by his beloved children, Marissa, Miley, Passions, Parker, Dylan, and John, as well as his brother, Brenden Bartlett; sister, Courtney Bartlett, and Timothy Maple II. He is also survived by his treasured niece, Avery, and his spirited nephew, Jaxson, who will carry his memory forward.

Visitation will take place on Friday, August 1, 2025, at the Arner Funeral Chapel, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, where friends and family are invited to celebrate and honor his life.
