Timothy Wayne Gragg, age 64, of the Batesville Community in Clarkesville, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 2, 2026.
Born on April 5, 1961, in Demorest, Georgia, Tim was the son of Ed Wayne Gragg of Clarkesville and the late Gussie Virginia Jenkins Gragg. A proud graduate of Habersham Central High School, Class of 1979, he spent the majority of his life working in home construction, building not only houses but a legacy of hard work, dedication, and integrity.
Tim was a true mountain man at heart who found peace and joy in the outdoors. Whether surrounded by the beauty of the mountains or spending time with those he loved most, he embraced life with a quiet strength and a deep appreciation for the simple things. He was a gifted and accomplished musician who had a special talent for playing the banjo, a passion that brought joy to both himself and those fortunate enough to listen.
Above all, Tim was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud Pap. His family was his world, and he treasured every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, who were the light of his life. His love, guidance, and steady presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Tim was a member of Oakey Mountain Baptist Church.
He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Linda Sutton Gragg; his children, Jeremiah and Brooke Gragg, and Melissa Gragg Garrett and Jason “Chico” Garrett; his cherished grandchildren, Aiden Gragg, Miah Gragg, and Logan Garrett; his father and step-mother, Ed Wayne and Ida Lee Gragg; brothers, Rusty Gragg & Jeff Gragg; his mother-in-law, Rosie Sutton; along with nieces, nephews, many beloved brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, extended family members, and a host of dear friends.
Tim’s legacy of love, faith, and devotion to family will live on in all who knew and loved him.
