William Graving

William “Bill” Graving, born October 2, 1956, in Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on May 25, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.

Bill was a devoted husband, dad, brother, uncle, and friend whose loyalty and humor touched countless lives. He shared 41 wonderful years with the love of his life, Christina Graving, including 30 years of marriage built on love and laughter.

A die-hard fan of the Cleveland Browns, Bill never missed a game and proudly stood by his team through every dissapointing season. He also found great joy in fishing, cooking, grilling, spending time with his dog, Sunny, and sharing his favorite music with everybody. Above all else, Bill was very proud of his family and friends and would do anything for the people he cared about.

He is preceded in death by his mother and father Harry and Patricia Graving

He is lovingly survived by his wife, Christina Graving; his son, Travis Graving; and his daughter, Shayla Graving. He is also survived by his sister, Nancy (Wayne) Lipps; his nephews, Nick Delaney and Matt (Heather) Delaney; along with many friends who will deeply miss him.

Visitation will be held Friday, May 29, 2026, from 10am -12pm at Hodapp Funeral Home, 8815 Cincinnati-Columbus Road, West Chester, Ohio, followed by burial at Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

Bill’s kindness, devotion, and love for his family will never be forgotten. Feel free to wear Cleveland Browns gear or colors.
