Publish in a newspaper

Marc was born to Dr. Robert F. Graham and Gloria Graham of Sumner, WA on June 9, 1953. He was raised in Sumner and attended Sumner High School. He was an all-around athlete and when he graduated in 1971, he received a full scholarship to play football for the University of Washington where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1976. After graduation he went to Spartanburg, South Carolina and graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic in 1978. He returned to Sumner and joined his father's practice (which would become his practice after his father's retirement), Sumner Chiropractic, where he practiced for 45 years until his retirement in 2023.
He is preceded in death by his father Dr. Robert F. Graham, his mother Gloria Graham and his brother Richard Graham.
He is lovingly survived by his wife, Tracy Reuter Graham; his daughter Leslie Pedro and son-in-law Matt and his son Anthony Bryant and daughter-in-law Lorinda; sisters Kerry Mance and Leslie Snodgrass and brother-in-law Kenn; grandchildren Emma and Taylor Pedro, Daymeon Dewyne, and River Bryant; and all his nieces and nephews and extended family.
Marc's family was the most important thing to him. He cherished being a husband, dad and grandpa. He was always very passionate about being a chiropractor and helping others. He loved the Lord with his whole heart and soul. He was truly an example of being the Lord's hands and feet. Marc enjoyed playing, watching, and coaching many different sports. He was an avid golfer. He loved music and singing. He was a member of many church and ensemble choirs. He loved the water and he swam as much as he could, as a child, in the backyard pool. He spent as much time as possible at the family cabin in Ocean Shores and in his later years walking for miles on Cannon Beach with Tracy, where they were married.
Marc was a humble, kind and generous man and will be missed by all who knew him.
