COATES, Graham

Devoted son of Doug (Dec) & Lesley Wonderful husband to Denise Loved father of Anthony & Rod Cherished father-in-law of Elycia & Fiona Adored Poppy of Jocelen, Ayden, Josephine & Amy

Graham slipped away peacefully, checking his ‘boxes were in a row’ right to the end!

Much of your life was a roller coaster ride as was your battle with cancer. You accepted what life threw at you and did not complain. You loved your family dearly and were totally devoted to your mum (Lesley now 103yo). You impacted many lives, especially mine. We met when I was 36yo, we enjoyed 36 memorable years together. You were My Darling, I was your Maudie May (Denise)

You cannot see the heart that has stopped beating but I know you are always here. Everywhere you go I am just behind you. I truly miss you. I love you. Anthony. Elycia, Jocelen & Ayden

We are so thankful to have had you as our Dad and Poppy.
Your spirit and kindness guided us through life's highs and lows. Your love and devotion to family will live on forever in our hearts. Rod, Fiona, Josephine & Amy

Thank you to the Epworth staff for your genuine loving care of Graham.
As was his wish Graham will be farewelled at a private ceremony.
