Graham
Clyde Douglas Graham, 78, of Kellogg, Idaho, passed away Nov. 7, 2025, peacefully at his home in Kellogg. Clyde was born Aug. 27, 1947, in Spokane, Wash., to the late Guy and Edna Graham.
He attended school in Mullan, Idaho, until the middle of 10th grade, when he dropped out and tried to join the Navy, which they made him wait until he was 18. When he finally turned 18, he joined the Navy. He served three tours in Vietnam, during which he conducted river patrols. At some point after he returned home, Clyde became a lifetime member of the VFW Post 1675 in Osburn, Idaho.
Clyde spent about 10 years in the mining industry in the Silver Valley. After mining, he started doing construction and did multiple things, including roofing, carpentry, framing, electrical and plumbing. He did this for about 15 years, which gave him the knowledge and experience that helped him get his final job at Mountain Valley of Cascadia Health and Rehabilitation in Kellogg, where he worked as the Head of Maintenance for 26 years until his retirement in 2018.
Clyde was married to his loving wife, Cheri, for 36 years and spent 38 years together. In his free time, he enjoyed spending time fishing, camping, watching movies, popcorn, woodworking out in his shop and spending time with his grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Clyde is preceded in death by his loving wife, Cheri Graham, who passed away Sept. 19, 2024; three brothers, Cletus Graham, Clark Graham and Claude Graham; and his son-in-law, Mike Moore.
Clyde leaves behind his six children, Andrew (Jennifer) Graham, Shawn (Tina) Graham, Sean (Teresa) Allen, Dwayne (Diana) Allen, Tina Moore, and Brian Allen; 10 grandchildren, Alisha (Mike), Tayler, Brooke, Joseph, Tristan, Gavin, Skyler, Mitchell, Connor and Arianna; two great-grandchildren, Nerissa and Hudson; numerous nieces and nephews; and countless friends and loved ones.
A celebration of life with military honors will be held Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, at noon at the Osburn VFW Post 1675 located at 318 E. Mullan Ave., Osburn, ID.
