It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing, after several major extended illnesses, of Timothy Peter Graham, 69 years old, of Blackridge, Pittsburgh, PA. Born on July 25, 1956 and passing on August 17, 2025, Tim is survived by his wife of 32 years, Julia Marie Graham; his daughter Emily Min Graham (Jacob Gelzheiser); his mother Leida Graham (father, the late Kenneth Graham); his sisters Audrey Stevenson (David), Wendy Brabon; his brothers Ronald Graham (Robin), Shane Graham (Debbie), Trevor Graham; and several nieces and nephews.
Tim proudly served his country in the U.S. Army for four years of active duty, one year of which was in Korea. He also obtained an Associate’s Degree in Environmental Technology. Tim loved to travel (especially swimming in the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Cod), and he was an avid coin collector and was interested in all things Civil War-related. He loved animals and had a special bond with their two dogs, Nicholas and Cody.
He was a gentle soul and will be sorely missed by all who knew him on his journey.
A Private Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Arrangements made by Perman Funeral Home and Cremations Services, Inc. Anyone who wishes to memorialize him can consider donating to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or the Dementia Society of America (DSA).
