Our beloved, James Allen Graves, 52, went to be with our Lord Tuesday August 23, 2011, surrounded by his loving family.
James was born on October 29, 1958, to Johnnie and Mary Graves in Muskogee, OK. He was employed over 20 yrs. by Verallia N. America Glass Plant as an electrician. James was a person of high integrity, had a hard work ethic, but still knew how to laugh and have fun. He loved life, his large family, his dogs, traveling, including a recent motorcycle trip with his son, John, to Sturgis, SD. He had a passion for adventure and once told a co-worker that he did not want to just live life but wanted to experience it and he did. James also was an avid OSU fan & was a whiz with computers. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
