Jeffrey Graham Obituary

Jeffrey Todd 'Jeff' Graham, age 61, of Liberty, died on Saturday, January 15, 2022 in the Emergency Room of Blessing Hospital surrounded by his family. He was born on December 26, 1960, in Quincy, the son of Homer & Betty (Mowen) Graham. He married Michele Schmidt on September 17, 1988. She survives.

Jeff was a graduate of Liberty High School, class of 1979. He graduated from John Wood Community College with an Associate of Science in Agricultural Business Management. For many years Jeff worked as a construction laborer. He was employed at Sparks and Wiewel and then Bleigh Construction. He also enjoyed raising livestock on the side.

Jeff was a simple man who never knew a stranger. He greeted everyone with a smile and had a way of bringing laughter into the conversation. In July 2021, Jeff was blessed with a grandson, Brady who he adored. He loved his new name 'Papa'. His favorite hobby was coyote hunting and he enjoyed gardening and sharing his harvest.

In addition to his wife, he is also survived by his mother, Betty Graham, TWO CHILDREN: Ethan Graham of Quincy and Megan Schlueter (Alex) of Fowler. ONE GRANDSON: Brady Schlueter. SIBLINGS: Randy Graham (Stefanie); Greg Graham (Lorie); and Bradley Graham (Traci).
