Paul Eugene Graham, age 56, passed away peacefully at his home on October 26, 2026, surrounded by his loving parents, following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born on May 3, 1970, to Pat and Kathy Graham, Paul grew up in Wyoming. During his junior year at Powell High School, he enlisted in the Army National Guard. He was drawn to the Powell unit for its artillery specialty and his passion for firearms; however, he was ultimately sent to Fort Dix, where he completed basic training and attended cooking school.

In 1992, Paul married Carla Harrell which ended in 1993. That same year, he began working for Brandon Construction under the mentorship of Clint Brandon. Clint taught him the ins and outs of pipelining-a trade Paul grew to love and dedicated his career to ever since. Paul continued to build a life centered on hard work, lifelong friendships, and strong personal passions throughout his life.

1993 also marked the year Paul purchased his first Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Riding was his favorite getaway, and he took to the road whenever he had free time off work. Paul also cherished his weekly routine at the Silver Dollar Bar in Cody, where he enjoyed lunch every Saturday. The crew there became a cherished second family, and the friendships he forged there lasted a lifetime.

At home, Paul found comfort, and unwavering companionship in a stray cat that wandered into his life, adopted him completely and has found a forever home.

Paul is survived by his devoted parents, Pat and Kathy Graham, along with many extended family members: Uncle Mel (Peggy) Hawley; Cousins: Danelle (Mark) Schmitz, Andrea (Casey) Bryner and Cain Bryner, Debra (Kevin) Hibbard, Ken (Desirae) Harmon, Charla Phillips, John Phillips, Marla (Dave) Skelton, Shana (Brent) Neill, Craig (Julie) Edmonds, Dr. Gregory (Ana) Edmonds; Laurel Vrenenburg and husband Fred Watson, Scott (Sherry) Vrendenburg, Matt (Sheri') Vrendenburg, Mark Vredenburg, JoAmy Rice; and many more second cousins; coworkers, and dear friends. 

The funeral for Paul Graham will be at Thompson's Funeral Home on Saturday, November 7, 2026 at 10 am immediately followed by interment at Crown Hill Cemetery. This will be followed by a reception at the Eagles Lodge. Please send charitable donations in lieu of flowers to the Powell Animal Shelter or a charity of your choice.
