About	Husband, Father, Grandfather It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Graham Lefton, on March 31, 2026. For 35 years, Graham was my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. He filled our years together with laughter, strength, and unwavering love. He had an amazing sense of humor and always wanted those around him to be happy. He always had a joke to share and wanted to make people smile, bringing light even to the hardest days. He endured many health issues, but you would never know it—he carried himself with quiet strength, grace and a generous spirit. Graham had so many friends across the nation—from California to Georgia to Florida, to name just a few places—and he maintained contact with lifelong friends throughout the years. That loyalty and connection meant so much to him, and it meant just as much to those who were lucky enough to know him. There are no words that can truly capture the depth of this loss or how much he meant to me and our family. He was a devoted father, a proud grandfather, and a kind, steady presence to everyone who knew him. He was so proud of all his children, and the love he gave so freely will continue to live on through all of us. I am deeply grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created together. Thank you to everyone for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. I will always love you, Graham Lefton Rest in Peace ?

I kept in contact with Graham over the years through Facebook and he would message me weekly with car buying advice as he was a prior car salesman and a recommended Netflix show to watch which I always looked forward to. He was always so upbeat and happy about his family and dachshunds he loved all so deeply, Then I hadn't heard from him in a long while and I saw he was rehabbing from surgery although I didn't know what happened and then all of a sudden I saw his wife post that he had passed which hurts my heart as he was such a bright light to all who knew him. I knew Graham from Venice High School although he was a few years older( I graduated in 1974) but he was always funny back then. The world is a little dimmer with him gone and I will miss his humor and friendship and his doggy pictures he was always quick to share. Rest In Paradis my friend until we see you again.
