Keith Robert Graham was born to Virgil and Mary (Block) Graham on April 29, 1976 to the joy of his sister Katie at home in Topeka, KS. He was an active boy playing soccer throughout high school and into college. He went to Baker University in Baldwin City and graduated with his degree in business management, but got his real schooling from his father and George Taddie in construction. He met Mandy Brock on a blind date in 1999 and quickly became a part of the French Family. Keith and Mandy wed in 2004. In 2006, they had their first son, Brock, and moved to Hiawatha, KS in 2007. Gabriel, their second son, rounded out the family in 2009.
Keith worked by his own hand and genius for several years in the Hiawatha, KS area. A certified electrician, plumber, and carpenter, his creativity and expertise can be seen in many homes, churches, and businesses around the tri-county area.
Later in his career, he kept the community warm and cool by working on their HVAC units for Edelman's out of Sabetha.
Recently, he and Mandy established the popular Brain Surge coffee trailer promoting epilepsy awareness, an illness Brock has had since 2009. The trailer can be seen around the community, but has also been spotted in far off places such as Texas and California.
Those who knew Keith would tell you he was their go-to guy for help on anything to do with your hands. If he didn't know the answer right away, he would find the answer. He was a great friend, always available to help and show up for you.
Keith's spirit was fully reunited with the Holy Spirit on December 3, 2025. He has preceded in death his wife, Mandy, and two sons, Brock and Gabriel. Also his parents, Virgil and Mary Graham; sister Katie (Steven) Titus; two nieces and a nephew; his parents-in-law, Jay and Bev (French) Brock; sister-in-law, MaLynda Brock; and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
A celebration of Keith’s eternal life is planned for Monday, December 8 at 10:30am at the Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Sabetha. The family will receive friends Sunday, December 7th from 2:00pm-4:00pm at the Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions will go towards Brain Surge sent in care of Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, 124 S 7th St., Hiawatha 66434, or an account set up at GNBank.
