Steven Clay McGraw, 59, a native of Bartlesville, Okla., and resident of Houma, 
was born July 28, 1954 and passed away, Wednesday, April 23, 2014.

and knowledge of stage four brain stem and lung cancer. 

A private memorial for the family will be held at a later date.

He is survived by his mother, Margaret Large; brother, Johnny McGraw; sisters, 
Janie Pitre and husband, Dickie Pitre, and Michelle Shelly Ford; nieces, 
Stephanie P. Tabor, Jessica M. Mulkey, Angie P. Lucas and husband, Tim Lucas, 
and Melanie M. Sharp and husband, Harvey J. Sharp III; nephews Bryon J. McGraw,

nephews.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Robert Large; grandmother, Octavia 
Pierce; great-nephew, Brendan Tabor; uncle, Wendell Pierce; father, Shelby 
McGraw; and his beloved dog and best friend, Mr. Dan.

He was a painter for 40 years and a musician with the Elgin St. Bridge Band.

throughout the years.

In lieu of flowers, please release a balloon at sunset on Saturday to honor 
Steve's wishes or make a memorial donation in his memory to the American Cancer 
Society.
