Hello All. My name is Brian, and I am the operations manager of Orkin Pest Control in Hickory. We are fundraising for the Hoke family as they recently and unexpectedly lost their newborn son, Graham Thomas Hoke. Graham was born at 37 weeks and 5 days on February 9th 2023 at 12:59 PM. He weighed 7 lbs and 2oz and was 19 inches long. He was adored and loved by his mom Katelyn, his father Gavin, and all of their family and friends. Sweet baby Graham unexpectedly gained his wings on March 11th, 2023. We cannot even begin to try and understand the pain and grief that this family is going through in this difficult time. We have taken donations from Gavin's coworkers to help alleviate some of the stress during this hardship, and we are asking the community for help at this time - whether it be by prayers, keeping them in your thoughts, or donations.

Arrangements can be sent to Jenkins Funeral Home in Newton, NC. Graham's Celebration of life will be held on March 24th at 2:00 pm.
