Gabriel “Gabe” Gavin Graham, 52, of Iowa, La., passed away on July 17, 2022, while living life to the fullest. Gabe was born on May 27, 1970, in Lake Charles, La., to Robert and Janet Graham.
Gabe was the life of any party and made smiles to anyone he ever met. He touched the hearts of everyone in his life and to those that he may have only met once. He will be remembered mostly for being over the top on everything he did with life, family and friends; his ultimate goal was to make people happy.
Gabe traveled extensively throughout his life leaving Lake Charles in high school and living in Houston, Palm Beach, New England states and then back home the past 17 years to be close to his family. On his journey he had stories that would make you laugh until you cried and most of those stories seemed unbelievable, but after you met Gabe, you would completely understand.
Gabe is survived by his husband, Rusty Touchet of Iowa, La.; his siblings, Belinda Hatman of Lake Charles, John (Lordes) Graham of Sugarland, Texas, Mace (Leslie) Graham of Gilbert, Ariz., Tracy (Bobby) Graham of Missouri City, Texas, Clint (Jill) Graham of Moss Bluff, La.; brother-in-law, Kyle (Heather) Touchet of Kinder, La.; and his cherished pets, Harold Grover, Bartholomew “Bart” Franklin, Patrick “Patch” and Piper Jane.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Franklin and Janet Myers Graham; and brother, Carlton Blaine Graham and his beloved Alex.
