August 10, 1927 - February 17, 2017
Wayne Graham Patton died Friday night in the arms of his loving wife of 63 years. Graham was born August 10th 1927 in Coy, Arkansas to Clint and Ruby Graham-Patton. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Clint Junior, Jimmy, and sister Pat Dodson. He is survived by his wife, Frances Marie Patton; son, Michael Graham Patton; grandson, Luke Graham Patton; brother, Robert Patton; sister, Rachel Beavers; and beloved nieces and nephews.
It cannot be overstated that from his humble upbringing as a child, up until his final years, he ensured that no one he cared for spent a single day without food in their bellies and clothes on their backs. Graham was many things but most of all he embodied the spirit a loving provider.
Services and viewing will be conducted at Arkansas Memorial Gardens at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, February 22, under the direction of Roller-Owens Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Compassion Center of Little Rock -- http://www.lrcompassioncenter.org/giving.php.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
Frances and Michael - I am so sorry in the loss of Graham. I remember him being so sweet and happy all the time. I know he is a huge part of your family and will miss him dearly. I pray for peace and comfort during this most difficult time for your family until you meet again someday.
Frances & Michael,
I was so sorry to read of Mr. Patton's death. I remember him as always having a big smile on his face! My thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

Dear Aunt Butch, Michael, Luke, and to all those who knew and loved my Uncle Graham:
Graham was a kind and gentle soul who was loved by all. May God continue to care for him and his family as he leaves his earthly home.
Love,
