Funeral costs for Terry Graves

On February 18 my father Terry Lee Graves passed away at the age of 74.  He had surgery on his lower back at the end of January and there were complications where he got whiplash, causing a neck and eye injury. The morning of February 18th my father was found in the hallway by my mother. Paramedics were unable to revive him.

My father supported my mother financially up until his death due to her losing the ability to work when I was a young child though reacurring infections and mental disease.

My siblings (one brother and one sister) have all moved out over the last few years and my mother is left in her home alone. so we are unable to help her as much as we would like. 

My brother has moved home for now working out of an office closer to my mother's home while I have been home from my house in Missouri since the 18th while still paying my bills there. Funds for all of us have started to run dry, trying to pay off things my father had been previously, paying for death certificates and the cremation. Along with other funeral costs. What we are asking is only a small amount that is needed to asist in putting my mother and all our lives back on track.

My father was constantly helping the community. He was always at city meetings advocating for neighbourhoods to keep them safer for families and animals. 

His heart and soul was poured into Amature Radio where he would assist in emergency situations such as floods and earthquakes. As much as it was used for helpfulness it was a true hobby of his. I have many meories of me going to see what he was up to and he would be talking to someone in Russia or Italy. He spoke to people all over the world and it brought him so much joy. 

The last few years he even started to decorate his 90 foot tower as a christmas tree bringing joy to all our neighbors. You could see it all over the city. 

He was constantly inventing things. Helping me make LED props for my cosplays and just things we needed around the house. 

He will be greatly missed.

Your contributions mean the world to my family and I.
