Ricky L. Graham, 67, of Burlington, died Sunday, September 7, 2025, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center in West Burlington. Born August 28, 1958, in Burlington, IA, he was the son of Thomas and Sandra Jackson Graham. On March 19, 1994 he married Nancy Heller. Ricky worked construction throughout his life and later started his own business - Ricky's Handyman Service. He was a hard worker and developed a reputation of being dependable and someone you could count on to get the job done. Ricky looked forward to being outside, whether that was hunting or fishing - he found peace in nature. Family was important to him and he enjoyed spending as much time as he could with his grandkids. Ricky's dedication and steadfastness will be missed but his memory will continue in the hearts of his family and friends. Survivors include wife of 31 years, Nancy; children, Randy (Rebecca) Graham, Dylan (Kimberly) Graham, Mike (Amber) Spiker, Christina Graham, Shanna (Dion) Graham, Kathie (Ron) Koresko; siblings, Scott Graham, Ronnie Graham, Charlotte Leasure, Sherry (Dave) Groenewald, Rhonda (J.D.) Gutierrez; fifteen grandchildren; nine great grandchildren; twelve nieces and nephews; and a close friend, Wayne Knopp. Ricky is preceded in death by his parent's, Thomas and Sandra.
