The community is rallying around Graham’s family, with two verified GoFundMe pages set up to help cover hospital bills and funeral costs as they grieve.
Family friend Kaitlyn Miles said Graham was a protective big brother who cared deeply for others. Miles recalled a moment at school when Graham’s teacher reached out to his mother saying, Summers was “one of the kids with the biggest hearts” she had ever seen.
The teacher shared that Graham noticed a classmate with a disability who was struggling and offered to help, even standing up to bullies.
Graham always looked out for his younger siblings, doing whatever he could to protect them, Miles said.
She shared a recent moment between Graham and his mother: Graham asked why he hadn’t seen a rainbow lately. His mother told him it hadn’t rained.
On the day of the crash, there was a rainbow.
