Boonville

Mr. Graham Walter Reece, 73, left for his heavenly home October 21, 2019. Graham was born December 11, 1945 in Forsyth County to the late Wilson and Olivia Norman Reece. He loved life, adventure, friends and family. Graham enjoyed golfing, fishing, horseback riding, and telling stories to scare the grandkids. He was a magician that could wash his eyeballs and clean his ears with invisible string. Graham made the best chicken stew and chocolate cake.

Graham served his country in the US Navy during the Vietnam War and was a member of American Legion Post #336.. He was the co-owner of Wolfe, Reece and Lynch along with R & B Riding Adventures. Recently, his health had declined but he still enjoyed his family, his peacock, Henry and his chickens.
