Anthony Graham

Anthony Shane Graham was called home August 11, 2015, in Spokane, Wash. He was born at St. John Lutheran Hospital in Libby, Feb. 11, 1976, to Theodore Gerald Graham, Jr. and Judy Lynn Meyer Franklin.

He was raised in Libby, where he was very active in the Nazarene Church, which he attended with his great-grandmother Irene Whitmarsh. As an adult he travelled extensively working with the carnival and visited many states.

Shane was a passionate supporter of veterans’ rights and an avid wrestling fan.

He was preceded in death by a sister; his stepfather; his paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents.

He is survived by his mother Judy; father Jerry; his two sons Layton Graham and Jackson Graham; his partner Deborah Johnson; stepdaughter Jessyca Whitehouse; his siblings Winter, Jeremy, Jesse and Justin, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces.

We will miss his imaginative anecdotes and his kind, loving heart.

“Though my visit ever brief, my legacy I’ve sown, don’t plague your heart with grief, for I am going home, I leave a cheerful revelation, my soul is free to roam, check my reservation for I am going home, sucked back to nature’s womb, no longer flesh nor bone, I sing a lovely tune for I am going home.”

A memorial service will be held at a later date, the details will be announced when the arrangements are made.
