Jeremy David Graves

Jeremy David Graves, 46 years, of West Norriton, PA passed unexpectedly on Thursday, January 16, 2025. He was born in Great Lakes, Illinois in 1978 to Lynn W. Graves and Catherine J. Graves.
Jeremy's departure comes as an immense shock and a deep wound, and it is most greatly felt by the kindest life changing partner, love, confidant, and friend anyone could have asked for him to have, his wife Rebecca. Even now, they are truly devoted to each other.
Jeremy loved fishing, helping others, even if it meant learning something he didn't know, boating and cars. Did I mention fishing?!?! He was a great teller of tales. The stories he has shared with all are one of a kind. Literally, the same story would change every time he told it, to everyone's delight and amusement.
Jeremy spent most of his childhood in Cherry Hill, NJ. After proudly graduating from Cherry Hill High School, Jeremy joined the United States Navy, serving 8 years 7 months active duty and was discharged as an Electronics Technician.
