Yesterday

I was surprised and shocked when Will told me of the passing of his dear brother. May the beautiful memories that y'all made in life comfort you and bring you smiles. I'm sorry for his loved ones, especially his precious Momma and his dear brother, Will. I pray God comforts you and holds you close.

I´m deeply saddened by the passing of DeGraaf. It´s difficult to express how much he meant to me-not just as a boss, but as someone who truly felt more like a brother. We were close in age, but even closer in spirit. He was a constant source of support, laughter, and encouragement in my life.

He wasn´t just a colleague-he was family. He was one of the kindest souls I´ve ever known. He once surprised me by buying me a kitten, simply because he knew how much I needed comfort at that time. That´s just the kind of person he was-generous, thoughtful, and always looking out for others. He even helped host my bridal shower at work, making sure I felt celebrated and loved. Those memories are treasures I´ll hold onto forever.

His absence leaves a space that can´t be filled, but I will always carry his memory in my heart-with gratitude, love, and so much respect. I´m keeping his family, friends, and all who loved him in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Until we meet again friend-
Donna (Wise) Parker

I had known DeGraff since he was in high school working during the summers at Adams & Porter. I was always happy thinking of DeGraff off fishing somewhere. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest condolences.

I´m so very sorry to hear this. DeGraaf and I worked together for many years and we took some wonderful fishing trips together to the Bahamas, Venezuela, and Christmas Island. He was the best storyteller I´ve ever known, and I will miss him.
