Timothy Howard Graham, born January 19, 1949, was the beloved son of the late Vera Ruth Brown Graham and Vincent Howard Graham.
Timothy proudly served his country as a United States Navy veteran, attaining the rank of E-2. He completed two tours of duty in Vietnam, serving aboard the PT-111 gunboat in the Mekong Delta. His military service remained a source of great pride and honor throughout his life.
He was happily married for 42 years to his beloved wife, Jackie Lynn Gurley Graham. Together, they built a life rooted in love, commitment, and devotion to family.
Timothy was an avid Harley-Davidson rider who cherished the freedom of the open road. A talented tattoo artist, he expressed his creativity through his artwork and took great pride in his craft. He also enjoyed painting and could often be found tinkering in the garage. Above all else, Timothy loved his family deeply, and he especially adored his dogs, who were his constant companions and brought him immense joy.
He is survived by his two sons, Eric Tyson Graham and Leroy Armstrong (April); his stepson, Gary Nelson; and his two wonderful grandchildren, Jennifer Ann Hyde and Levi Brantley Robbins, whom he loved dearly.
In addition to his parents, Timothy was preceded in death by those he held close in his heart and will be remembered for his loyalty, creativity, and strong spirit.
