Obituary of Sean Kenneth Graham

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Sean Kenneth Graham, age 65; on June 20, 2025. He passed away peacefully after his courageous battle with cancer, with the comfort of his family by his side. Sean was born in Ottawa on August 7 1959. He is survived by his loving wife Kimberley Margaret Graham (Byrne), his three sons Jesse Graham (Patricia), Kurt Graham (Mellissa), Jacob Graham (Julyann) and his precious grand children Kaitlin, Justin, Christopher and Paisley. 

Sean was a devoted father and grandfather who spent his spare time coaching youth football, writing a book about his oldest son and getting into mischief with family and friends. He began life in a large family of 16 and sprouted out into his own family of 5 through humility, humour and dedication. His old fashioned demeaner touched everyone who met him positively, by invoking comfort. Travel anywhere with him in Ottawa and you are bound to find an acquaintance that would go out of there way to speak to Sean. At work, football and anywhere really he could pull anybody out of there comfort zone and be their genuine self. He will be missed by many. 

A celebration of life date will be announced in the future.

We would like to thank the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus for all of their care given during his fight along with the Ontario Health at home care.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.
