Brent Graham, son of Raymond and Marga Graham, was born on December 24, 1953 in Moses Lake, Washington. A resident of Mauriceville for 13 years, he passed away August 9, 2009.

Brent attended and graduated from PN-G High School. A loyal employee, he worked as a lab technician for Dupont/Lucite over 35 years.

He loved traveling – trekking and scuba diving in which he shared numerous trips to Cozumel, the Yucatan Pennisula and Costa Rica with his wife of 20 years, Lisa.
