Graham Ferguson

[William Aldridge]

Hey guys, 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but wanted to let y'all know this before you heard from someone else or heard some bullshit rumor story.... 

Graham Ferguson passed away yesterday evening.  He was boating on Kerr Lake with his roommate Warren.  They stopped at the Rock cliffs which is a very deep area (about 80-90) ft deep.  Both had been drinking, but no drugs involved what so ever.  Warren jumped in first for a swim.  He heard Graham "jump in" a few second layer from the other side of the boat.  When Warren resurfaced Graham was no where to be found.  Warren searched and swam deep furiously looking... Search and rescue found his body about 70 ft deep this morning.  Speculation is he slipped off the boat and hit his head going unconscious and immediately drowning and sinking due to gravity and the weight of the jump off the boat (no physics major here), but I kind of compare it to dropping a pair of shades in the shallow water and you reach and grab but you never find them and they sink and are Gone. 

I know some of you don't know Graham as well as I nor were as good of friends as some of us might be, but he was a great, fun loving, guy with a positive outlook always, always could make you laugh and most certainly looked out for others before himself!  Had just gotten a promotion at work and his parents are in Italy on vacation. 

Truly super sad... I'll be in touch with more info to keep everyone in the loop, but just wanted to make y'all aware.  I am sorry and heartbroken to bring this awful news. 

Best,

William

Yea, I've been on this chain for over a year since Rankin out me on it. Also, does that matter or something? Graham was a friend of many, who passed away and since you know the funeral information I think it would be Graham's wishes that you send it out, so those who knew him could pay their respects.
