With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Gerald "Jerry" Edward Graber, who passed away peacefully at his home in Bakersfield, CA. on March 5, 2025. Jerry was a devoted husband to Johnnie Graber, sharing 30 wonderful years together. He was a loving father to his son, T.J. Graber, and is now reunited with his late son, Shawn Graber. His legacy lives on through his beloved grandchildren—Tyler, Dallas, Jacob, Stephanie, and Katelyn—who brought him immense pride and joy. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the East Hill Congregation for their unwavering love and support during this difficult time. A special thank you also goes out to our dear neighbors at Solera for their kindness, generosity, and thoughtful gestures, from gourmet meals to errands, which have meant so much to us. As per Jerry’s wishes, no formal services will be held. He will be dearly missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
