Daniel Graham Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 5 to May 7, 2023.
Daniel Bruce Graham Dundee - Daniel Bruce Graham, suddenly passed on April 28th, 2023 in Dundee, Michigan. Dan was born in Livonia, the son of loving parents, Barbara and Robert Graham growing up in the Plymouth, Michigan area. His family included his sister, Deborah Bennington, brother-in-law Brian Bennington, many Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Dan graduated from Plymouth-Salem High School then attended and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business, with Honors.

Dan was a devoted and loving father to his sons, Brennan and Dylan. Each of his boys became the light of his life when born. Dan loved spending time in the early years taking the boys skiing and introducing them to all kinds of water sports. Dan was predeceased (in death) by his former wife, Kelly Chabala Graham.

Dan was a Senior Program Manager for many years with Roush Industries. He accomplished many difficult feats in his work projects/assignments which were often highly recognized and praised. While Dan's greatest devotion and love was his two sons and his accomplishments at Roush, he loved travel and the outdoors. Dan enjoyed many adventures in travel. He was fortunate to see much of Europe, Hawaii and Australia. He prided himself in being a black diamond skier, loving all ocean sports, and had a passion for cars. Dan was a true car enthusiast and that love likely lead him to his chosen profession working at Roush.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Dundee High School, Athletic Department. It is the school his children have attended all their lives. Dan loved coming to watch his sons play and excel at their sports events. Most occasions Dan was there sitting in the bleachers cheering his boys on.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for June 1st, at Phoenix Mills Events, Plymouth, Michigan, 4-7 PM.

I worked with Dan on the Mustang program at Flat Rock assembly for a number of years, he will be missed. Always had a smile and a positive attitude, ready to step in and help his colleagues. My condolences to the Graham family.

I met Dan when we were toddlers. He had an excellent sandbox to play matchbox cars (thanks Bob). We had a lot of good times together and dodged some bad ones. Growing up we raced every vehicle we could get our hands on. I think I won on big-wheel, or tricycle but when we got motors, I couldn't catch him anymore. God speed old friend. Thoughts and prayers to Brennan and Dylan.
Peace and Love,
Timmy

I had the pleasure to meet and work with Dan back on the Mustang program at Flat Rock many years ago. We kept in touch for many years later, but it has been a long while since we've spoken. He always lit up a room with his smile and personality. I will miss my friend. Deepest condolences to his family.

My deepest condolences to Dan's family. I had the privilege of working with him on the 40th Anniversary Mustang. He was one of the kindest and gracious people I have ever met.

Godspeed!
