Thomas Allen Graber

Thomas Allen Graber, a man of remarkable spirit, left this world suddenly on January 8, 2025, at the age of 51. Born on June 29, 1973, in Medford, Oregon, Tom was a beacon of light and laughter to all who knew him. His passing has left a tremendous mark on the hearts of his family and friends.
Tom was the cherished son of Donald and Virginia Graber, who instilled in him the values of love, honesty, and respect that he carried throughout his life. After graduating from South Medford High School, Tom's path was defined by his dedication to his friends, work, and his unwavering commitment to uphold the title of best husband and father in the world.
He was a devoted husband to his wife, Christina Graber, with whom he shared six years of marriage and 16 years of love and respect. Their love story was one of deep connection and mutual admiration, a testament to Tom's capacity for love and commitment. Together, they created a home filled with laughter and kindness, a sanctuary for their two beautiful daughters, Sophia (Sophia Bug) and Emma (Emma Rue). Tom absolutely loved his role as a father, embracing every moment with his daughters and guiding them with a gentle hand and an open heart.
Tom was a jack of all trades; a man whose hands were as skilled as his heart was large. He was a father figure to many, always ready to lend an ear or a helping hand. There was never a problem Tom could not solve, being the MacGyver of the household he was always ready to fix anything in his own creative way. His friends knew him as someone who could be counted on, whether for a project or a piece of advice. His sense of humor was infectious, and his presence at gatherings was a guarantee of good times and hearty laughter.
A fan of drag races, Tom enjoyed the thrill of speed and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. His interests were a reflection of his personality-dynamic, engaging, and full of life. He was a great friend, a great husband, and a great father, roles that he not only fulfilled but excelled in.
Tom's life was a mosaic of the people he loved and the things he was passionate about. His ability to fix anything was matched only by his ability to make everyone around him smile. He was a man who lived fully, loved deeply, and left a legacy of warmth and joy.
He is survived by his loving wife, Christina Graber; his daughters, Sophia and Emma; and his parents, Donald and Virginia Graber. Tom's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his spirit will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him. As we say goodbye to this remarkable man, we celebrate the time we had with him and the countless memories that will forever keep him alive in our hearts. Though he may have left us in body, his spirit remains a guiding force of love and joy. Tom's legacy is one of a life well-lived and a love well-given.
