A Service of Remembrance and Celebration of Life for Ronnie Lee Graham, 54, of Enid will be Tuesday, August 26, 2014, 2:00 PM at the Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Carrell Still officiating. Interment will follow in the Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 6 to 7 on Monday.
Ronnie was born November 9, 1957 in Anderson, Indiana to Billy Graham and Virginia Crouch. He left this life on August 20, 2014. Even though life was difficult for him growing up, he was not hardened by it. He had a love for children that could not be matched. He would immediately love them and entertain them with magic tricks, games and jokes. He also cared deeply about the disabled, homeless, elderly and the forgotten ones. He would give his last dime to anyone who needed it.
Ronnie attended school in Anderson, Indiana and joined the Army in March 1979 serving until 1983. He always said it was the best and worst job he ever had, but was proud of his accomplishments. He was united in marriage to Geannette Stricker July 24, 1993 in Tulsa, OK.
Ron worked for Advance-Pierre and was very devoted to his job. He was a motivator and was a jokester (at times) making team work a priority. He loved all sports and was a trivia expert on them all. He was a diehard OU and Thunder fan, but his Indiana roots led back to the Colts.
Survivors include his wife, Geannette, mother, Virginia Graham, of Anderson, Indiana, a daughter, Kaylee Graham of Tulsa, OK, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, two brothers, Randy Bertram of Anderson, Indiana and Danny Graham and his wife Keli of Broken Arrow, OK, two sisters, Shawn Carpenter of Lake Forest Park, Washington and Becky Graham of Anderson, Indiana, one step-son and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a brother, Doug Graham and his father, Billy.
Ron always wanted to win the lottery so he could open an orphanage. With children being such a big part of who he was, he would have requested that memorial contributions be made to the YWCA crisis center or any children’s fund with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
