Alan Gator Graham, 31, was born on April 1, 1995, in Battle Creek, Michigan, and passed away on April 12, 2026, just 11 days after his birthday. He grew up in the Gull Lake community, where he enjoyed being outdoors and riding his motorcycle. Alan was known for his sharp mind, his kindness, and his willingness to help anyone who needed him. If he didn’t know an answer, he would always find it — a reflection of both his intelligence and his generous spirit.

Above all else, Alan loved his daughters. He was a devoted father and a steady, caring presence in the lives of those around him. His family and friends will remember him for his warmth, his humor, and the way he made people feel understood and supported.

Alan is survived by his parents, Wallace (Gator) and Starlena Graham, and his mother, Mary Beth Rust; his sister, Ciara Bailey, and her fiancé, Paul Springer; and his niece, Brooklin Springer. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles: Linda (Lawrence) Fitch, Kathy (Ernest) Benjamin, Elaine (Eddie) Wright, Johnny Ruth Graham, Uncle Alan (Laura) Rust, Aunt Debbi (Rust) Conwell, and Uncle Robert “Kim” (Dixie) Rust; along with Fuzz Graham, many cousins and lifelong friends, including those who have been part of his life since elementary school.

He was the proud father of two daughters, Elliana Faith Graham and Gwendolyn Grace Graham, who were the center of his world. He also leaves behind his beloved dog, Balma, who will continue to be cared for by the family. Alan is preceded in passing by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Marjorie Rust.

Alan graduated at the top of his class from Gull Lake Schools, a testament to his natural ability and determination.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Bedford Bible Church, 21964 Bedford Rd N, Battle Creek, MI 49017. A funeral service will follow at 11:30 AM, with burial to follow at Bedford Charter Township Cemetery.

His family shares, “We love you, Alan, now and forever. You will never be forgotten. Until we see you again — your family, always and forever.”
