Jeffrey Paul Gradinger's Obituary
Jeff Gradinger, Resident of San Mateo, CA
In Loving Memory - Jeff Gradinger passed away at the age of 63 on October 6, 2024 in San Mateo, CA. He was an adoring father, beloved son, loving brother, uncle, cousin, and friend to many. He can be best be described as a man with a quick wit, a passion for books, sports and good conversation.
Born September 5,1961 in San Francisco, CA to Gilbert and Sally Gradinger, Jeff was the youngest of four children. Always chasing after and adoring his older siblings, wanting to join whatever activity they were involved with, Jeff excelled at sports at an early age. While his youth centered around baseball, his football talent earned him Aragon High School Hall of Fame induction and an All-Ivy award for his career at Brown University.
But Jeff’s real passion was his three children Alex, Lucy (Alex Grieve) and Gus Gradinger (Annie Sullivan). His time with them was cut short, but the memories are cherished.
In addition to his children, Jeff leaves behind his beloved mother Sally Gradinger, siblings Lori Gradinger (Annie Smith), Jodi Gradinger (Robin Wes), Leo Gradinger (Melanie), his ex-wife Mary Gradinger, nieces and nephews Rachel Dunnington Groshong, Zoe Dunnington Alexander, Sam Dunnington, Dave Wes, Ari Wes, Nick Gradinger, Max Gradinger and Lucas Gradinger. Jeff was predeceased by his beloved father Gilbert Gradinger and his beautiful nephew Joseph Wes.
