Amesbury – Stuart James Graves, 53, passed away May 27, 2020 at his home in Amesbury.
Born in Leicester, England, he was the son of James Graves of England and the late Brenda (Batty) Graves. Raised and educated in England, he attended Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth College. Stuart loved all sports, but his greatest love was Premier League Football (soccer) and his home team, Leicester City. Stuart loved to travel around the world, experience different cultures and meet new people. Wherever he went, he made fast friends with nearly everyone he met. He had an incredible sense of humor and was always available to help anyone in need. Stuart became a United States Citizen in 2015 and was proud of that achievement. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
In addition to his father James Graves, Stuart is survived by his daughter, Holly Stell and her partner Jake Philps of Broughton Astley, England; his stepson, Noah Garcia of Marlborough; and his former wife, Alyson Fredette of Marlborough.

June 2, 2020 at 12:34 pmWords can’t express how sad everyone feels about hearing of Stu’s passing. He was a terrific person and a very good friend. We started out as co-workers over 10 years ago and became great friends. Everyone who met Stu liked him, he was so friendly and very much a gentleman. He would help anyone in need.
This world won’t be the same without you in it!!!

June 2, 2020 at 1:40 pmI am shocked and saddened to hear that Stu has passed away. I didn’t know him very well, I worked with him (WWTS) for over a year, he was pleasant and helpful, he got me a new floor pad, so my chair could roll smoothly and not get stuck in a hole! He secured my wall from wobbling, and balanced my drawer so it would stay closed. He will be missed, I will think of him fondly with a smile! My condolences to his family.

June 3, 2020 at 3:37 pmI am so sorry to hear of Stu’s passing. I remember when I first started at WWTS 5 years ago, I met him when we had a celebration for his becoming a US Citizen. He was so happy about that. Stu was such a great friendly guy who would do anything for anyone, often fixing all the little things that we would complain about. He also loved to cook and would often share his recipes with me. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. RIP Stu.

June 3, 2020 at 10:33 pmOh Stu, you are missed. We had many laughs over the last 10 years. I felt honored that when I brought you the Sporting keychain from Lisbon you taped the Sporting bag to your whiteboard where it remained. You always made me laugh. Mr. Pessimist while I was determined to be Ms. Optimist. It was a running joke between us. God speed my friend. I pray you’re at peace.

June 4, 2020 at 11:45 amI was very saddened to hear of Stuart’s passing. I work for WWTS in Ireland and when I visited the Tewkesbury office, he would drive me to the airport in the van. He loved to travel and was very excited about his trip to Prague. He also liked Crunchie’s (UK chocolate) and I always brought him some from Ireland as a treat. He said the chocolate wasn’t the same!. Ever a gentleman and he will be missed. Rest in peace.
