Howard Graddy Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Michigan Memorial Funeral Home, Inc. on Feb. 13, 2026.
Howard Douglas Graddy, born on November 25, 1970, passed away on February 1, 2026, at the age of 55. He was a beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.

Howard was a man of many passions. He found joy in hunting, working on old cars, and riding his Harley. An avid fan of Detroit sports, he cherished the thrill of drag-racing and was known affectionately by those close to him as a devoted mama's boy.

He was preceded in death by his dear mother, Marian Feiten, and his siblings Robin Graddy and John Graddey. His memory will be forever cherished by his wife, Jana Graddy, and their children: Aric Graddy, Aaron Graddy, Anthony Graddy, and Ashleigh Carrick. He leaves behind his father, Howard Dwayne Graddey (Shelby).

Howard's legacy continues through his grandchildren, Myiah Carrick, Brice Graddy, and Nolan Carrick, who brought great joy to his life. He is also survived by his loving siblings: Jessica Graddey-Sanchez, James Graddey, Austin Graddey, Brandy Gresko, Ashley Westfall-Moore, and Chelsea Kehr. His nephews, Matthew Feamster and Paul Graddy, along with niece Julianna Graddy, will fondly remember their uncle.

Howard's presence will be missed by all who were privileged to know him, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
