Steve Graham

Steve was born on April 4th, 1956 in San Angelo, TX to Glenn Reggie Graham and Ruby Lois (Liverman) Graham. He grew up in Monroe, Swartz, and Meterie, LA and graduated at Bonnabel Highschool. His family moved to Shreveport, LA where he met the girl who adored him and became his wife. They were blessed with 38 wonderful years together and two beautiful daughters, and one son-in-love. Steve worked for Enbridge which was formally known as Texas Eastern for 43 years. He began his career with the company as a mechanic and worked his way up to the highest technician grade as an engine analyst in 1997.

Steve was well admired and respected. It was said he was handy as a pocket on a shirt. He possessed many talents and skills and always received outstanding feedback from others on work ethics and dedication to his job. One of the proudest accomplishments during the course of his career was each job was done safely and there were no injuries or accidents. Longview had one of the best safety records with the company and Steve had a big part in making it.

He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at a young age, and his family trained him up in the way and love of the Lord. He was a member of Mobberly Baptist Church for the past 30 years and was an ordained deacon at Old River Baptist Church in Dayton, TX. He taught the 9th grade boys Sunday school class at Mobberly for over 10 years. His heart was to help them develop a life changing, ever-growing, relationship with Jesus Christ. He helped with Vacation Bible School and volunteered in the Children’s department.

He enjoyed gardening, home cooked meals, time with his family and friends, church, helping others, fishing, hot rods and classic cars.
