It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Johnny Graham, who left us peacefully on October 5, 2025, at the age of 65.
Johnny was born on September 1, 1960, and lived a life marked by deep love, unwavering dedication, and quiet strength. For 25 beautiful years, he was the devoted husband of Deanna Graham, the love of his life and his closest companion.
He was a proud father to Donald McAdams Jr., Marshall McAdams and wife Nancy, Derek McAdams, Samuel Graham, Joseph W. Graham, Amanda Graham, and Jennifer Johnson. He also cherished his role as a brother to Montie Graham, Tracy Graham, Stephen Graham, and Terri Graham.
Johnny’s pride and joy were his grandchildren—Bradley, Ann, Gavin, Ryan, Kim, Kaycee, Landon, and Allysah—and his great-granddaughter, Elizabeth.
Johnny is preceded in death by his parents, Johnny Graham Sr. and Barbara Graham; his son, Joseph L. Graham; his sister, Carleen Coburn; and his granddaughter, Kyra McAdams.
A master craftsman and builder, Johnny, had a gift for working with his hands. He poured his heart into every project, taking immense pride in his work and the career path he followed. Known for his attention to detail and work ethic, he built more than just things—he built a life full of purpose, love, and legacy.
Johnny was a kindhearted man who always looked out for others, especially those in need. He believed in doing what was right, helping where he could, and living with integrity.
An avid outdoorsman, Johnny loved hunting and fishing—especially with his son Donald. These were the moments where he found peace and joy, surrounded by the people he loved most.
Johnny also served with honor in the United States Army for 12 years. A proud veteran, he was a true patriot and American soldier who never stopped serving in his own way—through love, loyalty, and strength.
Johnny will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. His legacy lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the many lives he touched with his generosity and quiet strength.
