John P. Graves, age 57, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at St. Vincent's East in Huffman. He was born on February 1, 1968, in Tuscaloosa and graduated from Parkview High School in 1986. John went on to pursue a career in law, where he met his wife, Irene Michelle (Neikirk) Graves. They were married in September 1997. As an attorney, John gave generously of himself, helping more people than one could count. He found joy in life through hunting, fishing, attending numerous football games, spending time with his many friends, and guiding others whenever possible. John is remembered as the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back without a second thought, as well as a proud Alabama fan, a devoted husband, and a doting father. He is survived by his daughter, Anna Sophia "Sophie" Graves, as well as his parents, Linda (Searcy) Graves and James E. Graves. A memorial service will be held at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home and Gardens on July 19, 2025, with visitation beginning at 11:00 a.m. and the service commencing at noon. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Children's Hospital of Alabama.
