Jeffrey Graham
Jeffrey Edward Graham (46) stormed the gates of heaven on Sunday, September 8, 2013, from his home in St. Peters, surrounded by his family. Jeff was the beloved husband of Tracy and loving dad of Brendan and Colin.
Jeff was the son of the late Gerald Graham. Jeff is survived by his mother, Sharon Graham Enke (Paul), brother David (Marsha), grandmother Fannie Graham, father-in-law, Gilbert Hume (Judy) and brother-in-law Chris Hume (Yulia); beloved nephew, cousin, uncle and friend.
Jeff was employed by St. Luke’s Hospital as an Information Systems Manager and loved all things related to technology. Jeff did an exceptional job each year coordinating his outdoor Christmas lights to music as the entire family entertained passer-bys by delivering hot chocolate to their car. As an avid Cardinal baseball fan and Blues Hockey fan, he enjoyed attending games, especially Blues home games with his brother, David.
Jeff was an active member of his church, The Crossing, where he served in many capacities. Jeff and Tracy served together as leaders in the marriage classes and on the praise team with Tracy singing and Jeff playing bass. Additionally, as an Explorations and Bible 101 leader, Jeff encouraged new believers and those seeking to know more about God.
Besides his love of Jesus Christ, Jeff, hands down, loved and adored his family and fought long and hard to stay with them until Jesus took him home this week.
A memorial service celebrating Jeff’s life will be held at The Crossing (Chesterfield campus), 114 N. Eatherton Rd., Thursday, September 12, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, a special fund is being established for the education of Jeff’s children. Notification on how to make a donation will be published on Tracy’s Facebook page in the coming weeks.
Tracy,
Please know that Bill and I are praying for your family during this difficult time. We know how hard Jeff fought and we know how much you miss him. We know the comfort you have that he is in the arms of Jesus, no longer in pain or suffering. God Bless you and your boys Tracy. With Much Love, Bill & Judi Sears
Tracy,
I will not be able to make the service on Thursday, but just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers and in my heart. Jeff fought long and hard to be with his family here on earth as long as possible. He is home now with the Lord and not in anymore pain.
Love,
Denise
Tracy,
You have all been in my prayers and will continue to be. May you all feel the love and arms of God surround you with His comfort and peace.
Sending you all a prayer hug.
Love,
Paula Reiter
Dear Tracy, Sharon and Family,
My heart breaks for all of you. You have been and will continue to be in my prayers. I have many wonderful memories of the Grahams when we lived in Ft. Worth and also in St. Louis. This was a lovely obituary. I wish I could be at the memorial service but I just returned from Washington last night and no one I could get there at this late date but I will be lifting you up in prayer during that time Thursday.
My love to each one of you and God’s blessings, Peggy Gammill
Dear Tracy and boys:
We are friends of your mom and dad from Salem (so many years ago). JoAnn has kept me informed of Billie and Jeff over the last few weeks. Please know you are remembered with much love and we will pray especially during these coming days for God’s presence to surround you
Sincerely, Tom and Jean
