DOUGLAS WADE GRAHAM

Wade Graham, 56, of Whitwell, Tennessee, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Born on October 26, 1969, in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, he was the beloved son of Douglas Gilliam Graham and Betty Bowlen Anderson.  Wade was a devoted husband to his wife, Sherry Hood Graham, and a proud father to his son, Hunter. His love for his family was unwavering, and he carried that love into every part of his life. He was saved at Oak Grove Community Church, Wade lived with a joyful spirit and a heart full of gratitude.  He found peace in the simple things, riding motorcycles, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his loyal dogs, Cheyenne and Jo Jo. One of his greatest joys was sharing quiet moments with Sherry as they fed the ducks together, a small ritual that reflected the tenderness of their bond.  Wade was known for his big personality, animated storytelling, and the way he could fill a room with laughter. His presence was unforgettable, and his love for those around him was deep and sincere.  He leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and vibrant spirit that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
