Gregory A. Graham

Following a brief illness, Gregory A. Graham, 64,
died Tuesday, September 1, 2015, in Hudson.

Born in Lebanon, Indiana, Greg was a graduate of
Lebanon High School and Indiana University. A
life-long learner, he continued his education
earning a Master of Art and Religion degree in
1996 and a Doctor of Ministry in 2014 from
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

After a 23-year career in sales management with
Hewlett Packard, Greg moved to Ohio, first to
serve as Executive Pastor at Riverwood
Community Chapel in Kent, then at other churches
throughout northeast Ohio in various capacities.

He delighted in serving as an interim pastor or
guest pastor at several churches including
Weymouth Community Church and Church in the Valley.

As part of his second career, Greg taught at Akron
University and Kent State University, combining
his previous sales experience with his passion to
positively impact students' lives through teaching.

A runner and golfer, Greg enjoyed many sports,
especially IU football and basketball. Go
Hoosiers! was a favorite cheer. Most of all, he
loved the Lord, and helping others was his
greatest satisfaction. He looked forward to new
service opportunities through his appointment to
the Endowment Foundation Board of Directors for
Haven of Rest.

Greg is survived by his loving wife of 43 years,
Debbie; and their two children, Casandra and
Cody Graham; as well as Weimaraner "GrandPup"
Grady in Indianapolis, IN.

Friends are invited to celebrate the life of Greg
Graham on Friday, September 4, at Riverwood
Community Chapel, 1407 Fairchild Avenue, Kent,
OH where Pastor Cole Tawney will officiate a memorial
service beginning at 11:00 AM and where friends may call from 9 AM until service time.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations

Foundation be considered. For online giving, visit
