Dr. Glenn Graves

Dr. Glenn David Graves, DVM died peacefully on January 11, 2021 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his brother (Ron Graves) mother (Leauise Hockema), and goddaughter (Mentamer Conner). Born March 17, 1952 in Denver, Colorado, Glenn lived in multiple countries as a young man, savoring the variety of cultures and adventures that engendered a curiosity and love of travel that stayed with him throughout his life. Many Charlotteans and their pets were fortunate to receive his veterinary house call services, where a visit with Glenn could quickly expand beyond the treatment of pets to conversations about yoga, politics, jokes, and stories. Ever compassionate, his patients and their people felt well cared for both in body and in spirit. Glenn’s intellect, kindness, generosity, and infectious enthusiasm will be missed by many. A service of remembrance will be held on February 12th via a zoom link to be added at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Beyond the Orphanage (https://beyondtheorphanage.org/). Pets welcome at the service. Namaste. Z’ikhrono l’ivrakha: may his memory be a blessing.
