Malcolm Joseph Graham, Jr.

Malcolm Joseph Graham Jr. entered into eternal rest on May 3, 2023, in Austin, Texas. He was born July 25, 1955, to Col. Malcolm Joseph Graham Sr. and Annie Jean Moody Graham in Mobile, Alabama. He graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, Texas, in the glorious Class of 1973. That was the year they won The State Football Championship. He attended Chris Cole Academy for the blind (several years) to learn how to navigate his sightless world. He then transferred to The University of Texas, earning an MBA in Journalism. He chose this degree field because he was intelligent and an exceptional writer. Malcolm's early years were very happy when spending time with his Grandparents, Robert and Elmina Erdmann of Mobile, Alabama. Every weekend was an adventure with swimming, boating, and fishing in Mobile Bay with his grandparents and younger brother Ken. They would also go to Dixie Burger, visit relatives, exploring the different aspects of living on the bay. Malcolm was active in many civic organizations, attending conventions, meetings to union activities and politics in general. He loved anything to do with space and a die hard fan of the original Star Trek. Malcolm married Mark Graham Noble October 27, 2017, after a lengthy courtship. They both lived in a comfortable home in Austin Texas, where they enjoyed raising their 2 dogs, Emerson and Wendy. After Mark passed away October 11, 2018, of Pancreatic Cancer, his friends helped him navigate through his sightless life. His friends were unwavering and meant the world to him including his most loyal friend Mike Ragusa of Pflugerville, Texas. Mike was extremely helpful by making sure Malcolm's bill were paid, groceries were purchased and helping him with his medical and emotional support. Malcolm was a good and unique soul. He is survived by his brother Ken Graham (Sandra), niece Kendra Hudgins (Kyle), nephew Derek Graham and his beloved dog Wendy. Per Malcolm’s wishes in lieu of flowers, please donate to your local animal shelter or Austin Humane Society. Viewing will be held at noon Friday, May 12, 2023, at Austin Natural Funerals 3742 Far W Blvd #104 Austin, Texas 78731. Refreshments will be served. A procession will follow shortly after the viewing to Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery at 14501 N Interstate Highway 35 Plugerville, Texas 78660.
