Obituary of Ian Graham
It is with great sadness that the family announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Ian Donald Graham. He passed away on August 17th, 2020 of cardiac arrest at his home that he shared with his partner Morag.
Ian was born in Birmingham England and came to Canada at a young age with his parents, Bill and Cathy and his younger sister Lindsey. Ian who grew up in Leaside here in Toronto, went on to work in the music and television industry that shaped his career in front of and behind the camera. Ian also had a career in marketing, and eventually became founder and senior partner of Global Food Alliances that he was so passionate about and worked hard to grow the business.
After his battle with cancer a few years ago Ian met the love of his life, Morag. Together they travelled extensively and always made the time to stay a little longer in their homelands of England and Scotland. They both enjoyed the company of many friends and family when they didn’t travel. Ian loved to fish and also became an avid photographer. He loved to look out his home office window each day at Lake Ontario, and marvel at how lucky he was to have such a wonderful view of the city and see the activity of the lake at his doorstep.
Ian was always the life of the party and known to many as a loveable rogue. He had a great sense of humour and loved to make people laugh. He was well read on history and politics which always made him a great conversationalist.
Ian who is pre-deceased by his parents, leaves behind his partner Morag, his sister Lindsey, and her husband Eric as well as his Auntie Pat, and many cousins and relatives who reside in England.
In lieu of flowers, the family would be most grateful if donations could be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
*Note that the funeral is by invitation only, numbers are limited due to Covid.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Ian
