It is with intense and profound sadness that I share Robbie Graham had a sudden, unexpected heart attack and he passed on to be with the Lord on November 30, 2025.

Robbie’s passion for postvention and loss survivors was unmatched. He was my business partner, my grieving partner, my best friend, my soul mate and I know he was influential directly and indirectly in many of your lives.

If you’d like, please share a memory of Robbie even if you think it’s a boring one it will be oh so special to me - you can do this directly on his obituary. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/grove-city-oh/robert-graham-12635454

In gratitude and love,
Denise
