My brother Michael Gradney was a son, brother, and an amazing uncle. He loved riding bikes and living life as a free spirit. Michael served our country bravely in the U.S. Army 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment, including a tour in South Korea and a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011. His dedication to his family and his fellow soldiers was unwavering, and he brought joy and warmth to everyone who knew him.

On June 23rd, 2026, Michael lost his battle with PTSD. Our family is heartbroken, and we want to honor his memory with a Celebration of Life that reflects the love and spirit he shared with us all. The funds raised will help us secure a venue for the event, assist with closing out his affairs, and support fellow servicemen who wish to attend and pay their respects. This is a time for us to come together, remember Michael, and support each other.

Any support is deeply appreciated as we navigate this difficult time. Your generosity will help us celebrate Michael's life and ensure his loved ones and friends can gather to honor his legacy. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us give Michael the tribute he deserves.
