Eugene Robert Graveman

Eugene Robert Graveman, a beloved husband, father, and cherished member of the community, passed away on December 4, 2024, at Central Wyoming Hospice. He was born on June 25, 1924, in Cullman, Alabama to Bernard and Louisa Graveman. Eugene proudly served in the army during World War II, witnessing duty in Germany, a testament to his commitment and bravery.

In 1955, Eugene moved to Casper, Wyoming, where he established a successful career as a surveyor. He worked for Worthington Lenhart and later for Bill Ladd, retiring in 1986 after many years of dedicated service to the field.

Eugene's personal life was marked by love and family. He was first married to Lucille Bradley, but the couple eventually divorced. He found love again with Jackie Sorenson, whom he married in Hartland, Minnesota, on June 22, 1974. 

Eugene reached remarkable milestones in his life, celebrating his 100th birthday in June of 2024 and his 50th wedding anniversary with Jackie. He leaves behind a legacy filled with warmth and love, which will continue to inspire his family and friends.

Eugene is survived by daughters Doris (Dottie) Sullivan, Donna (Dick) Ragsdale, and Denise (Rodrick) O'Connor; sons Tom (Shiela) Graveman and Tim (Erin) Graveman; and step-son Mark (Sheryl) Sorenson. Eugene was a proud grandfather and great-grandfather to numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as a treasured uncle to many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and by several brothers: Herman, Henry, Theodore, Bernard, George, and Charles Graveman, sisters Annie and Louisa, grand-daughter Katie Graveman, great-grandson Wyatt Williams, and daughter-in-law Patricia Sorenson.

A memorial service to honor Eugene will be held on December 11, 2024, at the Oregon Trail State Veteran Cemetery in Evansville, Wyoming, starting at 1:00 PM. He will be remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for the love and devotion he shared with those around him.
