Barry Graham

Barry “Troy” Graham, 56, of Ludington, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, in Norfolk, Va. He was born Oct. 25, 1969, in Saginaw, the son of Barry and Valry (Weber) Graham.

After graduating from East Kentwood High School in 1987, Troy moved to California to begin his career in car sales. In 1997, he moved to Texas, where he met the love of his life, Emily Carlock. The two shared a life together from that time forward. Troy’s dedication to the automotive business took their family across the country, from Texas to Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, and Virginia.

In his spare time, Troy enjoyed visiting history museums, exploring lighthouses with his wife, and making memories with his children and grandchildren. He had a lifelong love of science fiction and movies and was always happiest when he was tinkering, exploring, and figuring out how things worked. These passions, along with his storytelling and adventurous spirit, will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Troy’s greatest legacy was the love he shared with his family. He is survived by his wife, Emily Graham; his daughters, Kathryn (Joseph Angelisanti) Graham and Macy (Cory) Wyatt; his grandchildren, Reagan, Rowan, and Reese Wyatt; his parents, Valry and Barry Graham; and his three younger siblings, Trace (Michelle) Graham, Kristy (Jarrell Cisneros) Jones, and Taylor Graham.

Funeral services will be conducted at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026, at Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, Pere Marquette Chapel, with Father Mick Shriver officiating. Visitation will be held Tuesday from 1 p.m. until the time of services at the funeral home.

Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service is in charge of arrangements.
