Thanks, everyone. Here is a copy of his obituary from the Vashon Beachcomber

Stephen “Step” Graves passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday, March 23 at 12:45 pm, the day after his 61st birthday. Step was born in Virginia in 1954. He travelled extensively from a young age. He served in the Navy in Viet Nam aboard the USS Coral Sea then settled in Oakland, California where he received his degree from Laney College. Following that he moved to the Seattle area where he worked for SeaLand for over fifteen years. After retiring from SeaLand, he found his way to Vashon Island, where he started his own auto detailing business “Island Detail”.

Step will be remembered by all who knew him as a kind and loving man. He had many interests including drumming and singing reggae, blues and soul music, sailing, travelling, walking, and drag racing. He was the ultimate “people person” who was a friend to just about everyone that he met but he especially loved women. He could be very opinionated but open minded and quick to forgive. He loved animals and was a keen observer of birds. He will be missed. He is survived by his daughter Vanessa and grandson Elias.
