Obituary

Jon Graham, 15, of Mount Calm, was carried home on the wings of angels on Friday, August 15, 2008. Memorial services will be 10 a.m., Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at Connally/Compton Funeral Directors Chapel with Pastor Steven Robert Schwarz officiating. Visitation with family and friends will be from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 19, at the funeral home. Jon "Jonny" Graham was born in Memphis, Tennessee on Dec. 30, 1992 to Stephanie W. Graham. From the time he was 16 months old he lived with his maternal grandparents, John and Billie Graham, and his "Dohi", Deann Graham. He started school early at the age of three, attending Mrs. Evans class at Spring Valley Elementary. He was home schooled up to the seventh grade, at which time he attended Mount Calm Middle School. He graduated this spring from the eighth grade. Jon said it was hard leaving "The Best Teachers in the World" ~ Mrs. Lane, Mrs. Nors, and Mrs. Lamb. (Thank all of you for doing all of the wonderful things you each did for him.) Jon had many wonderful life experiences for his young age. He helped Cru Films at Mary-Hardin Baylor. He helped his sister on some of her films. He wanted to be a director after college. He had just finished helping with a commercial at T.S.T.C. for the Web Design and Development Club the week of his death. He was lucky to be able to travel with Deann to many exciting places. He loved SXSW in Austin, and the comic conventions in Dallas. His favorite was AKON. He also loved acting out any chance he had . . . mimicking Jim Carrey, dinosaurs, and anything that would make his friends laugh! Jon loved to see people happy and he loved God and his family. Thursday night he was so happy and cutting up as usual. He told all of us 'goodnight' and went to bed. During the night Jon started on his greatest adventure ever. We know how much he will be dearly missed because he was so special and always had a smile for everyone. His mother, Stephanie Graham, preceded him in death. Those left behind to cherish his memory are his grandparents, Billie and John Graham; Deann "Dohi" Graham; sister, Sade Graham; brothers, Michael and Steven (S.J.) Graham; great-great grandmother, Evelyn (Mamaw) Dupre; great-grandparents, Lawton and Peggy Albin; Aunts and Uncles, Bobbie and Rick Griggs, Pat and Steve Schwarz, Becky and Dale Graham; and many cousins who will miss him too. Honorary pallbearers are Ryan Uptmore, Dylan Peterson, Cody Jones, Samantha Cabrera. Kyla Macias, Megan Campbell, Kristen Thomas, Ben Clark, Kelsey Barett, Brianna Eddy, Zolon Wilkins, Brandon Amarc, Chance Cornelius, Lyndsey French, Vanessa Calk, Jasmine Moseley, Reese Hawkins, Alexis Salada, Lucas Lambert, Dyan Hollister, Daniel Kendrick, Robert Gallon, Ben Edger, David Marshall and countless teachers, friends and my space friends.
