James (Jimmy) David Graham, Jr., 34, of Woodstown, passed away tragically on April 17, 2026. Born in Washington Township, he was the beloved son of James Sr. and Linda (Patalonis) Graham. Jimmy was a graduate of Woodstown High School and went on to attend Salem Community College. He worked for many years as a Parts Manager for Liberty Kenworth in Swedesboro, where he was known for his strong work ethic and sense of humor.

Born with an inner passion for adventure, Jimmy grew up shooting, collecting different guns, and traveling throughout the States. He had a deep love for the outdoors and could often be found hiking, camping, and fishing. He spent his summer days out in the bay boating and fishing. Most of all, he had a love for riding his KTM SuperDuke. Jimmy also had a unique and frolicking spirit as well—rescuing old pianos destined to be discarded and giving them one last memorable send-off in a bonfire. From childhood, Jimmy developed numerous deep friendships (all of whom have partaken in the honorable piano fires). He had a gift for conversation, meeting people of all backgrounds and learning their stories. Enjoying the company of others, he was often found at your local bar, judging mozzarella sticks, meeting new people, playing trivia and pool.

As the first grandchild on the Graham side, Jimmy naturally took on the role of leader among his cousins, as Caitlin can vouch, earning the regal title as the head of the “Super Cool Cousin Crew”. He also coined himself the “Fun Uncle” and adored riling up his nephews. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sister, Abby Drisdom, and her husband, Khalid; his cherished nephews, Jacob and Reese; and many loving aunts and uncles, including Donna Graham, Robert Graham Jr., Jack Graham, Michael Graham (Nancy), Kathy Graham, Scott Graham (Elaine), Maureen McDevitt (Stephen), Debbie Patalonis, Lenny Patalonis, Anne Sintic-Cohill (Bill), and Marie Dugre. Cousins; Caitlin, Ashley, Michael, Kelsey, Bobby, Stephen, Scotty, Megan, Sean, Lauren, Shannon, Shane, Ryan and Lindsey. Along with cousins from his mother’s side; Kerri, Lindsay, Melissa, Derrick and Kayla. Predeceased by cousins Jason and Sarah.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Robert and Rose Graham, and Leonard and Mary Patalonis. Most of all, Jimmy was a believer in Jesus Christ, and he will also be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his kindness, and his ability to make anyone feel like a friend.
