Robert L. Graham

Robert L. Graham, age 84, passed away on January 24, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, friendships, and passions that defined him so well. Born on October 27, 1941, in Akron, Ohio he grew into a man known for his loyalty, humor, and the unmistakable spark he carried everywhere he went.

He had a lifelong love for sports, especially boxing and football. Whether he was watching a big match or talking about the greats, his enthusiasm was contagious. He also had a deep appreciation for old cars — the kind that turned heads and carried memories — and he never missed a chance to admire a classic engine or swap stories with fellow car lovers.

Gun shows were another favorite pastime, not just for the collectibles but for the camaraderie. He enjoyed trading, collecting, and finding those unique treasures that spoke to him. He had an eye for value, a knack for bargaining, and a joy for the hunt that made every find special. He had acquired many cherished friends throughout the years.

Above all, he cherished the people in his life. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He listened and cared in quiet but meaningful ways. His presence was steady, and his heart generous.

He is survived by his amazing wife of 55 years, Sandra Graham; daughters, Robin, Rayna, and Regina; grandchildren, Kimberly and Robert Carter; great-grandchildren, Ethan and Elliana Bratanov; and sister, Mary Long, who will forever hold his memory close. He is preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Minneota (Capien) Graham.
