James Graham

James Everett Graham, Jr. of Potosi, Missouri passed away on June 28, 2016 at his residence having reached the age of forty nine years, ten months, and eleven days. He was born on August 17, 1966, in Potosi, Missouri, a son to James Graham, Sr. and the late Carol Lea (Politte) Graham.

James is survived by his two sons: Stephen Day of Louisiana and Chad Graham of Potosi; daughter, Katie Gibson and husband Scott of Mineral Point; father, James Graham, Sr. and wife Joan of Cadet; brother, Waylon Graham of Desloge; sisters: Marsha Graham of Potosi and Amanda Reed of Preston; three grandchildren: Amelia Gibson of Mineral Point, and Wyatt and Tristan Graham of Granite City, Illinois; father-in-law, Jimmy Rulo of Potosi; girlfriend, Billie Rolens of Potosi; and former wife of eighteen years and friend, Connie Graham of Potosi.

In addition to his mother, James is preceded in death by his grandparents: Louis and Fannie Politte, John Graham, and Clara Warden; and also his mother-in-law, Norma Rulo.

James "Bub" Graham loved nothing more than his family. He was a avid outdoors man who loved hunting, fishing or his absolute favorite digging roots. He was a straight forward man with a wicked sense of humor that rubbed off on anyone that was around him. He was a soul that brought joy and fulfillment to many. He will be dearly missed by many family and friends.

A memorial for James will be held on Sunday, July 3, 2016 at 11:00 AM at the Washington State Park Boat Dock. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any charity.

All funeral arrangements have been cared for by the DeClue Funeral Home.
