Joe was a kind person and enjoyed conversations with others. We talked on occasion and had some good times discussing guns and hunting. I know he will be missed by many. Great guy.

Lisa and family
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you all.
Let this be a time of rejoicing, for Joe is now cheering us on.
I Love you my Brother you will be missed!
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation!

I am not sure where to even start. Joe was such an integral part of my growing up years as well as grown up years. We all lived and grew up in Frost, Louisiana. Such a small little place, but it holds a wealth of memories that are buried deep inside my heart. My earliest memories of Joe are from when we were just young kids, probably 4 or 5 years old ( maybe younger). If you lived in Frost, you were automatically good neighbors and good friends. We were more than neighbors, we were family. The Frost kids were always there for each other. All of us lived so close to each other that all we had to do was yell or scream and someone would come running.
I remember passing many days sitting out on Joe’s paw paw George’s front porch. All the kids in Frost stopped in at Mr. George’s house first, then the next place was at Mamie & Pop Jesse’s place. Our little Frost gang passed many hours out in the horse pasture & old barn planning out our lives out as cowboys & outlaws.
I remember so many things, too many to put here. During the summers and on weekends we had camp-outs in each other’s back yards, told ghost stories until we were all too scared to sleep, then everyone huddled together & held hands until dawn, then everyone went home to their houses & slept all day. We rode our bikes halfway to Livingston just about every day because there was almost zero traffic coming through those cross roads.
Joe was a true friend growing up & a true friend as a grown up. How wonderful it was when my son and his son became best friends in kindergarten & stayed that way for many years. Logan stayed with us many, many days & weekends & Jamie stayed at their house many, many days & weekends.
I am so proud of the man that Joe became as an adult. A true Christian man that always had time for others. He wasn’t afraid to share his faith with anyone. He always had time for anyone who stopped in to visit.
It breaks my heart knowing that Joe is gone from this earth forever. But, I know where he went, I know where he is. And, I am walking that a-away also. I know someday we will meet again where there will be no more tears, so more sickness, no more pain because God will wipe every tear from our eyes. RIP Joe Graham.

So sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. We grew up together, went to school together and sat on Mr. George’s front porch a lot LOL. Joe was always a great guy, my prayers for all of the family. RIP my friend!

I am saddened by Joe’s passing and will continue praying for Lisa, Marty, Aunt Angie and all of Joe’s family and friends. Growing up in Frost/Colyell in the late 70s and 80s was truly a gift from God. Such a simple, safe and fun way to grow up – mud riding late into the night, hanging out on the pipeline, not a care in the world – just being young and carefree.
I have the fondest of memories from that time of my life and Joe is certainly an integral part of the memories. I remember how proud he was of his blue 4-wheel drive Toyota pick up. He sure put those big tires to good use and kept it ‘mudded up’.
Rest in Peace old friend.! Love and Prayers – Alicia Young Walters

Lisa,
Joe was a great friend to me. He was the first person I can remember that told me about the saving grace of Jesus Christ. For that I am grateful. I love Joe and will miss our conversations, but I know I will see him again in glory. Mine is a life that was changed because Joe gave to The Lord. The Lord put three men in my life, that changed my life, and Joe Graham was one of them. I will miss my brother and my friend. See you soon my friend!!!

I enjoyed talking with Joe every chance I got since the day I met him. Wonderful and caring friend. The world will be a little darker without him around to brighten our day. Condolences to everyone who had the chance know him.
