April Rose Graves

April Rose Graves, 35, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2025, in Scottsdale, Arizona, surrounded by love.

She was born on March 14, 1990, in Silver Spring, Maryland, and lived in Maryland, California, and Arizona throughout her life. She was known to some as April and to others as Rose, both names reflecting the same beautiful soul.

April was an intelligent, creative spirit who loved music, art, books, nature, and antiques. She was deeply connected to the universe and lived unapologetically herself in every way. With her beautiful singing voice and talent for playing multiple instruments, she filled any space with music and joy. She shared a very special bond with her brother Kenny, a connection she cherished deeply. April was also a proud Tottenham Hotspur fan and loved cheering for them.

April is survived by her mother Mary Seifert; her brother Kenny Grose; her sisters Sarah Duran, Michele Graves, and Amanda Graves; and her treasured cat Buddy. She was preceded in death by her father William Graves. She is also remembered with love by her many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

April’s unique eye for beauty shone through in every part of her life. She will be remembered always for her strength, authenticity, and radiant spirit.

She will be laid to rest beside her beloved father, William Graves, reunited in peace. Services will be private.
