Sgt. David J. Graciani USMC, age 26, of Norfolk, VA, passed away unexpectedly June 19, 2026, in Norfolk, from injuries received in a traffic accident. David was born on December 24, 1999, in New York City, NY, son of John Graciani and Jennifer Ponzini, who survive.

A man who enjoyed life, he was known by his family and friends as a loving and caring guy that possessed a wonderful personality. He was funny and could always make his friends laugh. In his spare time he loved to cook. A lover of the outdoors, he loved riding his motorcycle. He had a special fondness for the beauty of Tennessee. Proud of his military service in the United States Marine Corps, he had risen to the rank of Sergeant and served his nation honorably. But perhaps his favorite thing in life was being a husband and father. David and his wife, Trinity A. Graciani had been together four years and share a precious daughter, Esmeralda R. Graciani. He also leaves behind six sisters and two brothers.

A funeral service with full military honors to celebrate the life of Sgt. Graciani will be held Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 12 Noon at Ligon & Bobo Funeral Home, 241 West Main Street, Lebanon, TN, with Bro. Will McReynolds officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service.
