Help Dave Graham's Family During Tragedy

Donation protected
On February 21, on a snowy Sunday morning, our father David Graham was driving along Cook-Underwood Rd near our parents' home in Willard Washington.  As he approached the Columbia Gorge View Point, the road veered to the left, and he lost control of his vehicle and careened over the side of the mountain, narrowly passing through a small gap in the guard rails.  His vehicle was found at the bottom of the Gorge, hundreds of feet below the road above.  He was a loving father, a devoted husband, a cherished brother and friend, and a caring grandfather.  His favorite past times were playing/coaching baseball for his sons, reading stories to his little ones (where he would often fall asleep before the children), and FaceTiming with his grandchildren - connecting four generations together on video chat (great-grandmother, grandparents, children, and grandchildren/great-grandchildren).  After living most of his life in Washington D.C., he and our mother moved to Washington State to be near our grandmother and to care for her in her old age.  He remained close with the family, helped in the family business, and participated in the local church as he had done his whole life.  He leaves behind a wife of 45 years, his children, grandchildren, a brother, a niece and nephews, old friends in D.C., and new friends in Washington State.  He was the sole earner for his family, and after providing generously for others his whole life he is gone tragically and suddenly.  We will miss him deeply, miss the FaceTime chats, the frequent gifts to his grandchildren, and the trips we planned to take after Covid...trips that will never occur because he is gone from our lives so suddenly and tragically.  Our mother will be the beneficiary. I am setting up the fund to cover the funeral and burial expenses and to support her during our grieving process.  We are still in shock now, and didn't have a chance to say goodbye.  Thank you for your support as we make preparations and grieve the loss of our father, husband, grandfather, brother, and friend.  We love you and lost you way too soon Dad and look forward to seeing you again one day!
