William "Bill" Glenn Graham, Jr.

William "Bill" Glenn Graham, Jr., born on July 13, 1967, in Lubbock, Texas, passed away on December 17, 2025, in Ponder, Texas. A proud graduate of Monterey High School in Lubbock, Bill embodied a spirit filled with both determination and humor, even when faced with life's challenges.

Throughout his life, Bill found joy in a variety of pastimes. He had a passion for gaming, often immersing himself in the latest video games or enjoying sessions on his iPad. His love for cinema found him engrossed in movies, and he was particularly fond of the worlds crafted by "Star Trek" and "Star Wars," beautifully reflected in his collection of related artifacts. Bill was also a dedicated collector of coins and clocks, going so far as to ensure each clock was wound and displayed the proper time. His sense of fun came to life with a memorable incident where he demonstrated his aim by successfully “destroying” a pumpkin with his pellet gun in October. Bill loved to play games like Mexican Train Dominoes.  Christmas was his favorite holiday.  This year he got the best gift ever - HEAVEN!  Every New Year’s Eve, Bill delighted in the tradition of watching the ball drop in New York City, ready to celebrate the start of a new year with contagious excitement.

Bill leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory. He is survived by his mother, Carol Graham; his sisters, Janell Wilbanks and Melinda Callender; and his brother-in-law, Troy Callender; and his best friend since junior high, Andy Fudge.   Bill was preceded in death by his father, Glenn Graham, and his brother-in-law, Harvey Wilbanks.

A graveside service to honor Bill's life and legacy will be held on December 30, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Cathedral In The Pines Memorial Garden in Tyler, Texas.

Bill's good nature, positive attitude, and humor will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
