Minister Earl Graham

On Tuesday, February 16th, 2021 Min. Earl Graham departed this earth peacefully. He was a long-standing member of St. John United Methodist Church where he preached many sermons and singing on the Male Chorus was one of his many joys.

Earl grew up in Florence County where he attended Lake City public schools. He was a hard and faithful worker his entire life. His passions included helping others and taking care of his animals which he greatly enjoyed. The works he's done in taking care of and helping others will continue to live on.

Earl was born to the late James and Vermell Graham. He was preceded in death by his brother Samuel and sister Mary Alice. His brothers Tim, Levi, Robert, Ivory, and Ralph; his sisters; Annie Mae, Joanne and Violet; including a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other family members and friends will take joy in the memories he left them with.

Earl leaves to cherish his memories to his wife Betty of 47 years, along with his children, Eric (wife Jessica), Renata (husband Derrick), Angela (husband Mark), Terrell (wife Terica), Justin, Quentin (wife Perswaysia), and Johnathan. His grandchildren: Kimani, Zariah, Serena, Aaron, Kadari, Blaike, Markyla, Mia-Arie, Brooklyn, Monica (deceased), Dareeon, Timothy, Antron, Terrell, Iyana, Ja'Quann, Zy-Quavious, Omar Zianiah, and Zihiem will never forget the joy he brought to our lives.

Brother Graham led a life of love, faith, and service. Those he left behind will truly miss him, but we know, Heaven gained a faithful servant.
