The world was blessed with Michael Graham on January 10, 1962 in Winnsboro, La. He graduated from Friendship Academy. He owned and operated Coburn Muffler and Brake for many years where he created many friendships. He lived his life as a simple man with a big heart. He loved golf, fishing, nascar, and nature. He loved teaching his son all about life through the Andy Griffith Show. He compared himself to John Wayne; "A Man's Gotta Do What a Man's Gotta Do" He was so proud to be a Navy dad and adored his new daughter-in-law. He met his great nephew and grinned ear to ear.

Michael is preceded in death by his grandmother, Belle Oglesby Paine and Francis Graham Kenney; best friend, Jack McCarty.
