Michael “Mike” Graham, of De Soto, Missouri, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Mike was a devoted husband, father, family man, and friend whose greatest happiness came from caring for the people he loved. Cooking was one of his greatest passions, and there was nothing he enjoyed more than preparing delicious meals for family and friends. Sharing food was one of the many ways he showed his love.

Mike was a baseball fan who rarely missed the chance to listen to a game on the radio, and he was a lifelong Beatles fan whose music provided the soundtrack to many moments in his life. He also loved traveling with his family, creating memories on vacations, road trips, and adventures that will be treasured forever.

Above all else, Mike cherished his family. He was a loving husband, a proud father, and someone who could always be counted on with a helping hand, and a warm smile. His strength, kindness, and unwavering love touched everyone who knew him.

Mike is survived by his wife, Kimberly “Kim” (nee Recar) Graham, De Soto, MO and two daughters, Kaitlyn Graham and Addyson Graham, De Soto, MO. He is preceded in death by his Mother, Cynthia (nee Ladd) Graham.

The family would like to thank the many doctors, nurses, caregivers, family members, and friends who walked alongside Mike throughout his journey with such compassion and care.

Although our hearts are broken, we take comfort in knowing that Mike’s love, laughter, generosity, and the countless memories he created will remain with us forever. His legacy lives on in every family meal shared, every Beatles song played, every baseball game watched, and every adventure taken with those we love.
