Kenneth L. Graham Obituary | Condolences Kenneth L. Graham Obituary Kenneth L. Graham Kenneth Lamar Graham, 81, went to be with the Lord on March 7, 2014. He was born and lived in the Akron and Cuyahoga Falls areas. He attended Cuyahoga Falls High School, served honorably in the United States Air Force, and was especially proud of his service to our nation as a member of the honor guard at the inauguration of President Dwight D.

He was employed and retired from both Firestone Tire and Rubber and Acme of Akron. Kenneth is survived by his wife of 38 years, Barbara J. Graham; children, Valerie (Daniel) Wallace, David L.
