Quincy Graham

On Saturday, January 16, 1954 in the City of East Chicago, Indiana, Ransom & Velma Graham, Sr., welcomed Quincy William Graham “QW”, the 8th of 10 children, into their family.

Quincy accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Zion Missionary Baptist Church in East Chicago. He attended Washington High School, class of 1972.  He played Little League baseball at a young age through middle school. During his High School years, he switched to basketball.  He loved sports especially the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Cowboys.

He was employed by Inland Steel and later Mittal Steel for over 35 years.  He loved helping people and working with his hands.  

On June 30, 1979, Quincy married his high school sweetheart Lettie Junigan and to their union one daughter was born, Keisha.  He was elated when his 3 granddaughters, Janiah, Aliyah & Arielle arrived and lovingly called him “Papa”.

On early Sunday, January 9, 2022 Quincy made his earthly transition to his heavenly home.  He is now in heaven with his wife, Lettie Junigan-Graham; parents, Ransom and Velma Graham, Sr.; grandparents, Pete and Mabel Hunley; brothers and sister-in-laws, Lonnie (Mable Victoria) Graham, Sr. and Henry (Patricia) Graham; sisters, Sedalia Graham-Turk, Winter Jean Graham, Loretta Graham and Velma M. Graham; mother-in-law, Rosina Nicholson, father-in-law, Leroy “Nick” Nicholson
