I was one of Graham’s classmates. We were in the same grade; I’m pretty sure I met him during middle school, though I could be misremembering. I wasn’t very close with Graham directly, but I recall that he knew some of my friends that were a part of TSA at the time. From what my memory serves, I recall him being a really creative, friendly and downright intelligent individual for his age. His “energy” as a person, so to speak, was infectiously charming and unique.

Over the years, one thing that’s continued to pleasantly remind me of him was, somewhat specifically, his love for the color green and penguins. Even now, I still think of him when I see that color being applied alongside or directly to depictions of penguins in media.

Thank you for being cool, Graham. I’m grateful that I met you.
