A terrible loss
Susan Lavelle, the actor's ex-wife, took to Facebook with a heart-wrenching post: "It is with deep profound sadness to say that Gary Graham, my ex-husband, amazing actor and father of our beautiful only child together, Haylee Graham, has passed away today." The post, a touching tribute to a man who was not just an actor but a father and a husband, has sent waves of emotion across social media.
The news hit like a photon torpedo. Lavelle and her daughter, along with Graham's wife of nearly 25 years, Becky, are "completely devastated." Becky, who was by his side during his final moments, confirmed the cause as cardiac arrest at a Spokane hospital.
Graham wasn't just a star in the sci-fi universe. He was a versatile actor who shared the screen with Tom Cruise in "All the Right Moves" and battled crime in the futuristic series "Alien Nation." His ex-wife reminisces about meeting him when she was "just 20 years old" and he was already a TV sensation.
In Loving Memory of Graham
Known for his "sarcastic sense of humor," Graham was also a "kind" soul and "a devout Christian," proud of his daughter Haylee. As Lavelle poignantly puts it, "This was sudden so please pray for our daughter as she navigates through this thing called grief. Fly high into the heavens Gar!"
From "Starsky and Hutch" to "The Dukes of Hazzard," Graham's career was as diverse as it was impressive. But it was his turn as a Vulcan that captured the hearts of Trekkies everywhere.
