Bradley R. “Bim” Graybill, age 70, of Victorville, CA, formerly of Dubuque, IA, completed his earthly journey on August 11, 2023, in San Antonio, TX, with his loving family by his side.  To honor Brad’s life, his services and burial will be held at a later date at the Fort Sam Houston Cemetery in San Antonio, jointly with his wife who sadly passed away just months ago.

Brad was born on May 16, 1953, in Guttenberg, IA, a son to Byron “Barney” and JoAnn Graybill.  He lived in the Sherrill, IA, area and was a proud graduate of the Class of ’71 from Hempstead High School in Dubuque, IA.  Brad enlisted in the U.S. Navy Sea Bees after graduation and also served in the Reserves until retirement with the rank of E01 in 2005.  He was always proud to be a Sea Bee and served with true dedication and honor.  He was also an over the road truck driver for most of his adult life and won multiple safe driving awards while employed with Werner Enterprises, from where he eventually retired.

Brad was united in marriage to Janice Moore on September 4, 1976, in Dubuque, IA, and they were blessed with many wonderful years together until she was sadly called home ahead of him on March 15, 2023.
