In Memoriam: Ron Graham
(1951-2013)
Note:
I am saddened to say that Ron Graham, one of our many featured writers for
Prophecy Update and Rapture Ready has gone to be with the Lord. I am deeply
saddened but at the same time rejoicing knowing that Ron is with the Lord.
Following is a short tribute by Terry James of Rapture Ready that speaks highly
and fondly of Ron, please read and pray for Ron's wife Nathele and his
surviving family.

Todd
and I are saddened to announce the death of Ron Graham, one of Rapture Ready's
most widely read and highly respected writers on end-time matters involving
Bible prophecy. He will be missed far beyond our ability to measure.
Ron
went to be with the Lord Thursday, March 14, 2013, following a lengthy illness.
He is survived by his wife, Nathele and three children, Rodrigo, Michelle, and
Amanda.
I
borrow in part the following from the biography on his Home Page. Ron was born
in 1951 at Camp Cook, California which is now Vandenberg AFB. Before retiring
he was Operations Manager and Director of Advertising for a national magazine
based out of Oregon.
After
accepting Jesus as his Lord and Saviour in 1995 his life was dramatically
changed. Ron faithfully and prayerfully studied the Bible and the Holy Spirit
led him to intensively research the works of many inspired men. He
obviously--to anyone who followed his writings--was taught Holy Spirit
discernment.
I
knew Ron as a tremendously deep thinker on Bible matters as well as in current
issues and events. Yet he was a man of humility in the most genuine sense. Of
his own dealings with the Lord, he wrote on his website biography: "It is
amazing what the Lord can do when a man is willing to surrender to Him."
Ron
lived in rural Missouri where he testified that he was immensely blessed and
thankful to be asked to fill the pulpit of various vacationing pastors in the
area.
He
eagerly awaited the Rapture, but worked diligently for the Lord right up until
the day God called him Home. He corresponded with people who contacted him
about his many articles even during the toughest moments of his severe illness.
Ron
wrote me when I had the heart attack that stopped my heart three times on Good
Friday, April 22, 2013. He was, as always, most caring and gracious, and, of
course, was fascinated to hear my account of being in that Heavenly Realm each
time my heart stopped.
I--of
all people who knew, respected and admired Ron--am absolutely sure his Home
Coming is Spectacular beyond all description!
Ron's
lengthy illness and passing presents a financial hardship for his wife and the
family, as might be expected in such circumstance. We ask that everyone wanting
to donate financially to Nathele and her family send as the Lord Leads to:
Nathele
