Ryan E. Graham, a beloved son, father, brother and friend, passed away on Feb. 20, 2025, in Biloxi, Mississippi, at the age of 43. Born on Dec. 26, 1981, in Oakville, Washington, Ryan spent the early years of his life in Oakville and later in Centralia, Washington, before relocating to Biloxi, Mississippi, two years ago.
Ryan was a man of many passions. He had a zest for life that manifested in his love of the outdoors; he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and quadding. An avid golfer, he was known to hit the greens whenever time permitted. Bull riding also found a place in his heart, showcasing his adventurous spirit. In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Ryan had a deep appreciation for music and could often be found singing karaoke and entertaining friends and family with his joyful performances.
Having completed his education at Tacoma Community College to become a paramedic, Ryan was a dedicated firefighter/paramedic, serving his community with compassion and skill. His commitment to helping others highlighted his character and left an indelible mark on those he interacted with.
Ryan is survived by his father, Buck Graham, and his girlfriend, Shar, of Oakville, Washington. He leaves behind his children, Emelia Graham of Rochester, Washington, and McKenna Ziady of Chehalis, Washington, who brought immense joy to his life. Also mourning his passing are his sister, Brandi Green, and her husband, Dan, of Rochester, Washington, along with his cherished nephew, Jarred Green, and niece, Allie Green. Ryan is remembered by numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends touched by his kindness and infectious spirit.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Pati Graham, whose memory will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved Ryan.
Ryan E. Graham’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to share in his laughter, love, and adventurous spirit. As we remember him, we celebrate a life marked by passion, devotion, and a deep love for family and friends.
