Our brother in Christ, Graham Skinner, died this afternoon due to endocarditis and septic shock. As we grieve his untimely death, we also proclaim that Graham lives triumphant with his Redeemer.
Graham was a member of Faith Lutheran for decades. He was most visible collaborating with his wife Laura in the ministry of Pumpkin the therapy mini-horse as together they not only led Palm Sunday and St. Francis processions at church, they also brought joy to nursing homes throughout the region. Behind the scenes, Graham faithfully served our congregation for 19 years as a supervisor for Stephen Ministers.
In the coming days, the family will plan a funeral. We will share those details once they are available.
Cards of condolence can be sent to Graham's wife, Laura Skinner, at 3828 Larkin Road, Biggs, CA 95917.
