Lawrence Graham was born September 12, 1964, and departed this life April 27, 2024, reaching the age of 59 years. He was the son of the late Willard and Geneva (Sheckles) Graham.

Lawrence was married to his best friend of 10-years, Stephanie (Clifford) Graham. Along with his wife, he is also survived by three kids, Louis and Amy Graham of Carmi, IL, Amber Graham of El Dorado, IL, and Lachrisha and Randell Essary of Carmi, IL; stepchildren, Chelsea Tackett of Shawneetown, IL and Jimmy Parker of Hillsboro, IL; 15 grandkids and great grandkids; two sisters and three brothers; and tons of family members.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother.

Lawrence loved to fish, hunt and go camping and country riding with nowhere to go with his wife, Stephanie; they spent a lot of alone time together. He was retired but helped out at the Sloan farm when he could.

The family is planning a Celebration of Life service at a later date in Carmi, Illinois.

Hicks-Vaughn Funeral Home in charge of the arrangements.
