Jason Graves Obituary
Jason Graves, 49 years old, passed away at OSU Medical Center after a long, hard fought battle with Lupus.
Jason was born July 13, 1975 in Columbus, Ohio to Richard and Marsha Williams. Jason graduated Centennial High School in 1993 and went on to attend college at Devry. Jason married Aeratina Chandler on February 17, 2012.
Jason loved spending time with his family. Family vacations were a must on his list. His favorite place to visit was Miami, Florida. Jason's second love was sports. He coached little league football for the Central Ohio Pirates. In the fall, his weekends consisted of going to local high school football and basketball games on Friday nights. Saturday mornings consisted of coaching his pirates then watching his beloved Michigan Wolverines! Also talking smack to all of his friends and family! On Sundays, he enjoyed watching his Denver Broncos. During the week, sports was still his priority. Jason loved watching his children play soccer, bowling, baseball, flag football and basketball.
Jason leaves to cherish his passing parents, Marsha and Richard Williams; wife, Aeratina Graves; children, Awnika and Jaylon; Godchildren, Xavier, Xandria, and Cameron; sisters, Jennifer and Michelle Williams; brothers, DeJuan Carter and Richard (Alicia) Williams; sisters-in-law, Andrea (Frank) Collins, Allison (Mason) Wiseman, and Brittany Dalton; brother-in-law, Kymm Chandler; nieces, Makayla, Te'Miyah, Honey, Delilah, and Hazel; nephews, Roy, Kaviaughn, Micho, Quincy, Klayton, and Tavion; best friends, Scottie Scott and Jerome Brown; and a host of other relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request donations be given to $MaleLupusWarriors.
