Colonel (Retired) Jeffrey McKenzie Graham USAF, born January 25, 1941, passed on December 12, 2023, at the age of 82. Jeff was a loving husband, devoted father, and proud grandfather ("Papa Jeff"). Jeff served 27 years as a JAG officer followed by a career in the private practice of law. He golfed every chance he had and read when the weather or light did not allow him to tee it up. He had a quick wit, dry sense of humor, and told a story better than anyone. Jeff is survived by his wife of 45 years, Helen Louise Graham; son Jeffrey McKenzie Graham and wife Lindsay and grandsons Jeffrey McKenzie Graham III and Henry Johnson Graham; son Andrew McKenzie Graham and wife Lisa and grandsons Ambrose McKenzie Graham and Theodore McKenzie Graham; brothers Kim Graham and Chapman Graham; and sister Suzanne Graham. He was preceded in death by his parents Edith Graham and Harold Graham and sister Gypsy Campbell. Jeff will be deeply missed. Funeral Services will be held at St. Francis of Assisi, 2650 Parish View, on January 11th, at 10:30 AM, followed by a burial service at Pikes Peak National Cemetery at 2:30 PM.
