Obit: Sen. Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly at age 71
Posted By RichC on July 12, 2026
Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend to the US military, cherished his family and his beloved state, South Carolina. He dedicated his entire life to 
serving his country. His career spanned as a JAG officer in the U.S. Air Force, a US Congressman, and a US Senator.
Graham’s life exemplifies the exceptional opportunities and values that America offers. After the untimely deaths of his parents while he was in college, he adopted his 13-year-old sister, Darlene. Throughout his service in the US Air Force, he supported her through college and remained close to her family. His life was a testament to his resilience and dedication. Born from humble beginnings in a small town in Pickens County, South Carolina, as a Southern Baptist with a fiery passion, Graham’s journey from humble origins to becoming a renowned figure is truly inspiring.
Renowned figures from around the world, including presidents, prime ministers, kings, and queens, have extolled Lindsey Graham’s virtues. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional opportunities and values that America provides. Graham’s life embodies the very essence of the American dream.
*** Personal tidbit: Brenda and I don’t often financial support political parties or candidates, but after receiving a national personal appeal a decade ago, did contribute a token amount to Lindsey Graham’s reelection campaign.
