Daniel Graham Obituary
Gary was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia 3 years ago. He fought it until his body became too weak to fight it anymore. He passed away peacefully on June 10th, 2021 at 12:18 am in our home in Texas.
Gary loved life. You could stop at that short sentence and it would explain everything about him. He lived large, loved large and gave large. He loved to travel, he always wanted to "GO", and when we got there, he wanted to "GO" again. This man is a great man. A kind, gentle, and loving man. He gave so much to so many without blinking an eye. He is my hero and my true love. It was the highest honor that he chose me to be his wife and to trust me to take care of him until the end. My heart is breaking; I hope I made you proud baby. I love you, I love you, I love you. -Chelle
