It’s with a heart full of love and sorrow that I share the passing of my husband, Paul Graham (Levesque). Though we were separated at the time of his death, the bond we shared remains the most meaningful parts of my life. Paul was a kind, gentle soul; full of music, laughter, and love before mental health took a toll on him. He tried hard to fight his demons but it became to difficult but his heart was full of love and spirituality.

He had a voice that could quiet the world. He would sing to me for hours, filling our home with warmth and melody. Every weekend, he made me breakfast with care and affection, always finding joy in the little rituals that made us feel close. He adored our two fur babies, Brandy and Amber, and they adored him right back.

Some of our most cherished memories were made in nature. I’ll never forget the sparkle in his eyes the first time he stepped into the ocean, as we kayaked together in the Bay of Fundy. We camped on the cliffs of Grand Manan, wrapped in blankets under the stars, listening to whales in the distance and watching the Milky Way stretch across the sky. Those moments were pure magic. Just the two of us, the ocean, and the stars.

Paul’s passing was sudden, and I now find myself carrying the responsibility of arranging his final farewell. I want to honour him with the peace, dignity, and love he so richly deserves. To help with the costs of his cremation and memorial, I’ve created this GoFundMe campaign. Any contribution...no matter how small, will help me give him the gentle goodbye that reflects the beauty of his life.

If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing the campaign would mean the world to me. Thank you for holding space for Paul’s memory, and for walking beside me during this tender time.

With love and gratitude,

Cynthia Graham
