Stanley Graham, Sr. of Maumelle, Arkansas, was born on April 12, 1955 in Boydell, Arkansas to the late Mr. Willie and Mrs. Ollie Graham.

At an early age, Stanley gave his life to Christ under the leadership of Rev. Jessie Courtney at Evergreen Baptist Church, where he built a lifelong foundation rooted in faith, humility, and quiet strength.

In 1976, he enlisted in the Army National Guard and proudly served until 1982, earning distinction as a certified sharpshooter. After his service, Stanley became a skilled and dependable concrete finisher, respected for his unwavering work ethic and sharp attention to detail.

Though he wasn't a man of many words, Stanley's calm and steady presence spoke volumes. He found comfort in music, often riding around alone just to listen--his favorite way to relax and reflect.

Stanley was a proud father, grandfather, and "Pawpaw" who loved his family unconditionally. His legacy lives on in the strength, love, and resilience he passed down to his children and grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, one son, Brandon Davis; and three siblings, Dwight Davis, Curtis Graham Sr., and George Graham Sr.

Stanley passed away at his home on Wednesday, June 18,2025.He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, JoAnn; five children, Monica Balfour (Ian), Eldridge "Lee" Miller Jr.,(Tiara), LaShonda Graham, Stanley Graham Jr., and Korey Graham; three loving sisters and six devoted brothers. He also leaves 16 beloved grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren who will forever carry a piece of him in their hearts; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends all of whom were touched by his quiet strength, his love and his enduring presence.
