Honoring AJ Graves: Support His Loved Ones

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of James "AJ" Graves on March 7, 2025 at the age of 59.

AJ was a kind, hard-working man who was deeply loved and cared for by his family and friends. He was born on August 26, 1965 and grew up in Coshocton, Ohio.

He and his wife Amber met in Memphis, Tennessee and have been married for 35 years with their son Peyton. They moved to Cape Coral, Florida in 1999 together working in the swimming pool industry. Those of us who knew and worked with him knew the extent of his knowledge was immense. He was always teaching others what he learned. After Hurricane Ian in 2022, the family moved to San Antonio, Texas to start fresh working with his friend of over 30 years, Anthony Verduchi.

He touched the lives of so many and as we share our stories of him they always lead to his acts of kindness to others and lots of laughter.

AJ is survived by his wife Amber, son Peyton, Eva his daughter-in-law, and 3 grandchildren whom he spent a lot of time with and loved dearly.

The family is understandably shocked by this loss and unfortunately not prepared for all that goes along with planning a funeral at this time, so we are raising money to help cover expenses and give some financial relief to the family.

As you consider a gift, please share a memory if you like for the family.
