AJ's obituary
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Andrew "AJ" Graffia II, fondly known as AJ, of this life on August 28, 2023. Born on February 22, 1993, AJ graced our lives with his vibrant spirit and ceaseless zest for life.
AJ is survived by his loving and devoted family. He leaves behind his mother, Lisette Graffia, and his father, Andrew Graffia. He is also survived by his sisters, Erica Doyle and Elyse Graffia. AJ's memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his grandmother, Henrietta Graffia; his brother-in-law, Brian Doyle, Stewart Menz; his nieces, Kaela Wigley and Meadow Menz; his nephews, Kaleb Morgan and River Menz; his aunts Michelle Bubrowiecki, Yvette Berlanga, and Janet Berlanga; his uncles, Ralph Berlanga and David Berlanga; and his cousins, Kristen Bubrowiecki, Deanna Bubrowiecki, David (DJ) Berlanga, and Justin Berlanga.
AJ was predeceased by his grandfathers Andrew Graffia and John Berlanga; his grandmother, Elise Berlanga; as well as his aunt Diana Graffia, his uncle Joseph Bubrowiecki, and his dear friend William Amato. It brings solace to our hearts to know that AJ will be reunited with these guardian angles.
A Memorial Mass for AJ will be held on September 16, 2023, at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM at Saint Christpher's Catholic Church, 7411 S Broadway; this will be followed by a Celebration of Life, which will be held at the Elks Club Pavillon, 7711 Albany Post Rd. at 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM. Please join us as we commemorate AJ's life and share memories of the joy and laughter he brought into our lives.
We extend our heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of support during this poignant time. AJ's spirit will forever be remembered in the heart of every life he touched.
