On Thursday, August 4, 2022, Daniel Dean Graham, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away at home in Deland, Fla., at the age of 62. 

Daniel was born on February 6, 1960, in Burlington to Charles Nathan and Peggy Ilaine Astfalk Graham. 

He was a graduate of Burlington High School in 1979 and served in the United States Army and Iowa National Guard.  On Sept., 5, 1987, he married Lisa Marie Fraise in Burlington.  They raised their two children, Ashlie and Chase, in West Burlington. 

He loved to vacation in Florida with his family, which prompted a move in the last few years to Deland with his wife. He enjoyed spending time on the beach relaxing in the sun.  He was known for being a helpful neighbor and willing volunteer.  He was of Christian faith. 

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Michael Graham, and brother-in-law, Larry Blutt. 

He is survived by his wife of almost 35 years, Lisa; his two children, Ashlie (Matthew) Aaron of Sulphur, La., and Chase (Alexia) Graham of Coble, Tenn.; grandson, Maverick Graham; sister, Nancy Blutt; brother Scott Graham; nieces and nephews, and many extended family members. 

A memorial service will be held at a later date in Burlington.  Interment will be at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery in Mims, Fla.
