John Graham

He is survived by sons, Jonathan Graham and Steven Graham; sisters, Angela Graham and Maureen Phillips; brothers, Mark Graham and Leroy Graham; his two grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

    I am going to miss him so very much. It’s hard to imagine my life without him in it. We had a special love, connection and friendship like no other. My heart will forever be broken with him being gone.

    John was always glad to see me and always had my back. He’s responsible for introducing me to his sister Maureen in 1974 the I married in 1978. I enjoyed making him laugh and we often used to go fishing together and so many different other adventures. He was always into collecting things he’d buy at Thrift stores and yard sales. I’m gonna forever consider him 1 of my best friends!

    I’ve known John for 30 years. He was always nice to me. He always had a smile on his face when I talk to him. I know his health was bad for a long time but even after years of not seeing him and then seeing him he still smiled and I admire the man for that he will be missed. God bless him
