W.K. Graham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Marek-Burns-Laywell Funeral Home on Mar. 27, 2026.
Wilder Kenneth "WK" Graham Jr., age 78, of Cameron, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 25, 2026. He was born on September 8, 1947, in Beaumont, Texas, and lived a life defined by hard work, service, and deep love for his family.

WK proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from July 12, 1967, to January 11, 1971, earning an honorable discharge. Following his military service, he became co-owner of Sandhill Construction Company, where he worked alongside family, building not only a successful business but a legacy of dedication and integrity.

He is survived by his loving wife, Mary C. Graham, and his children: Christopher C. Graham and wife Courtney; Lynn M. Dearman and husband Terry; and John K. Graham and wife Joni. He was a proud grandfather to Kait Overstreet, Jason Lightfoot, Emily Fuqua, John Pierce Graham, Owen Graham, and a cherished great-grandfather to Warner Overstreet and Truett Overstreet. He is also survived by his sister, Carolyn (Graham) Bryan and leaves behind many life-long friends.

WK will be remembered for his love of the outdoors, especially hunting, tending to his honey bees, and cooking meals that brought family together. He was known as a hardworking man, a loyal friend, and someone who always put others before himself. Above all, he had a deep love for his family and a strong sense of responsibility and care that touched everyone who knew him.

Services will be held at Marek-Burns-Laywell Funeral Home in Cameron, Texas, on Tuesday, 31 March 2026 at 2:00 pm with graveside services to follow.
