James William "Jimmy" Graham's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Mr. James William "Jimmy" Graham on May 2, 2024, in Birmingham, Alabama. Jimmy was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on January 20, 1955, he grew up in Enterprise, Alabama and infused his 69 years of life with unwavering love, immense intelligence, and an unforgettable sense of humor.
A devoted family man, Jim was the beloved husband of Angela Graham of 37 years, and the cherished father of Nicole Robinson, Stephen Graham, and Miranda Graham. His legacy will live on through the joyous laughter of his grandchildren: Angel Barnes, Haeden Robinson, Sophiea Grace Humphries, Kaelyn Hutchinson, Tucker Humphries, James Hutchinson, Noah Tucker, and Kaia Graham. He found great strength and comfort in the bonds of family, including his brother/friend, Joe Ed Greathouse, and will be remembered in the hearts he so lovingly touched.
Preceded in death by his mother Joyce Beitzel, father James Louie Graham, brother Alan Graham, and uncle John Graham, Jim leaves behind a tapestry of memories filled with his wisdom, warmth, and wit.
Jim's professional journey was marked by a 40-year tenure as a Gaming Manager for Victoryland, where he was not only a respected figure but also a friend to many. His affable nature and keen intelligence made him a respected colleague.
Away from work, Jim's passions were manifold. A sharpshooter at the pool table, and an aficionado of movies, his spirited pranks and infectious laughter were a testament to his philosophy that life should be fully and joyously lived. It was in the company of family and friends where Jim truly shone, savoring every shared moment as if it were a precious gem.
Described by all who knew him as intelligent, loving, and undeniably funny, Jim Graham's luminous spirit will continue to inspire laughter and love in the stories that will be told and retold by those who were fortunate to know him. His life was a lesson in how to embrace the beauty of every day, and he will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
The family will schedule a memorial service at a later date.
Langley Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of James William Graham.
