Thomas Graham Obituary

Thomas Stafford Graham GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO Thomas Stafford Graham, 37, of Glenwood Springs, CO, died unexpectedly on May 4, 2025. He was born in Charleston SC on February 21, 1988. "Stafford" embraced the Lowcountry life and spirit. He spent many happy days in the creeks, pluff mud and marshes in the Old Village of Mt. Pleasant and on Wadmalaw Island with family, friends and his beloved dog, Berry. With his mentor, Gilly, he developed an appreciation of the woods, bringing home two turkeys with a single shot on his first outing at age 11. He loved boating and fishing in the creeks around Rockville and adventuring out to the reef at 4KI. Stafford graduated from Charleston Day School, Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia and Trident Technical College. With a degree in Avionics and the influence of his beloved father, Tom, a corporate pilot, he was a natural for his job with Gulfstream Aerospace. Stafford is survived by his mother, Barbara Stafford Dotterer. He is predeceased by his father, Thomas Henderson Graham and his stepfather, Gaillard Townsend Dotterer. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pet Helpers (www.pethelpers.org) or to Charleston Animal Society (www.charlestonanimalsociety.org).

I will remember Stafford for being a Charlestonian that I knew of before Episcopal, but got to know while on Berk dorm in 2005. The music we played together and the memories we shared in High School I will remember well. Stafford was a simple man, a thoughtful, caring soul, and he loved good music.
