Clifford Graham Obituary

Clifford Earl "Cliff" Graham

Clifford Earl Graham, 71 of Findlay, passed away peacefully at Bridge Hospice Care Center in Findlay early Tuesday morning, Dec. 3, 2024.

Clifford was born July 19, 1953, in Norfolk, Virginia to the late Earl Edgar and Lillian Graham (Jackson).

Cliff is survived by his loving wife Dollie "Lacy" Graham (Jewell) of 39 years. Also surviving are three daughters, Rebecca Wright (Jewell), Sabrina Giraldo (Lacy) and Heather Parks (Graham), all residing in North Carolina; four grandchildren, Chesnee Giraldo-Davila, Miguel Giraldo, McKenna Parks and Jake Parks, all residing in North Carolina; two sisters, Diane Holland of Virginia and Deborah Keeney of North Carolina.

Cliff was a retired small business owner in Findlay. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His passions were fishing, family, NASCAR, and motorcycles. Fireworks were not just for the Fourth of July; they were his year-round joy. He and his wife spent quality time gardening and enjoying the fruits (and veggies) of their labor. His laughter was contagious and could be heard two blocks away. He will be forever remembered and missed.

Cliff's wishes were to remember him in silence and celebration. Memorial services will be held privately for immediate family.
