CHRISTOPHER PETER GRAHAM With great sadness we announce the accidental death, on October 15, 2004, at only 22 years old, of our beloved Christopher, son to Jan and Cam and big brother to Andrew. Christopher will be missed deeply by his grandparents, Denise Beley and Don and Vivien Graham; uncles and aunts, Dave and Marsha Graham, Blair and Carol Peacock, and Henry and Leslie Joling; cousins, Derek, Alex, Brooke, Dawn, Brianne, Monica, and Matthew; and his dearest friend Ashley and her parents Lynn and Paul Fulton, the Hanfords and the rest of her family who embraced Chris into their lives. Chris lived all his life in Fort Garry, graduating from Vincent Massey, making some great friends along the way. Chris touched our lives briefly but profoundly in many ways and to many different people some of whom we are just now finding out about for the first time with their kind words and thoughts. Chris loved the Graham family cottage and was driving to the lake when the accident happened so we know that he was on the road to his favourite place. With the cottage came his love for the life he shared there with his family and friends, the frogs and the turtles, and the old aluminum fishing boat. He was not so crazy about the mosquitoes and the horseflies, but man oh man did we have a whack of fly swatters to take care of that situation. Christopher was working at Inlet Equipment, and that was always a constant subject of conversation at the dinner table. We dont think there was a busier place to work! He was full of stories about his day at work, problem solving, customer service, and the interpersonal conversations that he had with his fellow employees and his Boss, Tony. Christopher took the good with the bad and solved all problems at work with his own brand of wisdom. He had all the answers, and thats for sure. That was Christopher, sure of himself, sure he was right, a true 22 year old. To your computer friends, who you networked with, day and night, we thank you for the world you lived in with him. We were never quite sure what he was up to but whenever we would look at the computer screen we knew it was well beyond our capabilities or understanding. He was truly happy and content whenever he was online or programming, often with a little smile on his face. We will miss you so much Christopher, Chris to all his friends, and we will hold you in our hearts forever. The funeral service will take place at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, October 21 at Mary, Mother of the Church at 85 Kirkbridge Dr. Arrangements entrusted to: VOYAGE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORIUM 1531 Pembina Hwy. 284-7500
