Todd Austin Graham

Message from Brian Lewis, MD, Bethesda, MD, classmate of Todd at Northwestern Med

To Todd's family, from a good friend of Todd's from Northwestern University Medical School, Class of 1986:
It breaks my heart to read this and learn of Todd's passing. We had such a wonderful friend in Todd those many years ago when we were learning together at Northwestern. It's clear from reading these many inspiring notes that Todd went on, as we knew he would, to a successful and warm career connected to his patients and forming many loving relationships. I was inspired by my friend and send warm wishes for healing to his family.
Best,
Brian Lewis, MD

I was shocked and saddened upon hearing of Todd's tragic passing. As classmates at NUMS Todd stood out as the considerate friend of many- I knew he was headed for a great career caring for others and have no doubt that he touched many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. We carry his spirit on as a fine example of what a fine physician and good friend should strive for.

Message from Tom Emery

I want to express my condolences to your family for the loss of a super husband, dad and brother. As high school principal and later superintendent of the Athens School District, I knew the Graham family very well. Todd was my favorite student ever. Not only was he brilliant, he had such a great personality. He would stop by my office from time to time and we would share some laughs. I always looked forward to those visits. Be comforted in the knowledge that he made a huge impact on so many people's lives and will live on in those memories. I know I won't forget him.

Dr. Graham was one of my doctors. He was always very interested in how I was doing and he listened to what I had to say. He never tried to hurry the appointment along. He will be missed by me and Rick (who was also a rehab patient). One thing that made Dr. Graham stand out among the other doctors was that he always was dressed in a suit and he looked like a million bucks! I told him that at every office visit I had with him.. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children. It is such a tragedy that took him away. He will be missed.

Message from Tammy Marano

Dear Graham Family:

I was saddened to hear of Dr. Graham's tragic passing. An amazing doctor and life taken from this Earth too soon. I worked with Dr. Graham at Elkhart General Hospital from 1995-1999. He was an inspiration to us all. He was the best dressed, one of the most passionate and by far the most memorable rehab physicians I have ever had the privilege to work with. I was moved to hear that his son is following in his footsteps by becoming a physician. With a father and life mentor like Dr. Graham, I have no doubt you will be an amazing doctor, just like him.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to travel to send my condolence in person. Please know that I thought of you and the entire Michiana community today. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless.

Tammy (King) Marano, OTR/L

I'm shocked, but trying not to let the shock of the actions of this evil person get in the way. Todd trained a few years behind me at RIC and we both practiced Pain Medicine. So we saw each other at meetings and talked often. He was brilliant and a nice guy. He contributed greatly to our field. and yeah, we kid-bragged at each other all the time. His family should understand that he's a hero and a role model and we will keep up his work with him in our hearts.

Dr. Graham was mt doctor from February of 2011 until now. I have many times told him that he was like part of my family. I trusted him with my life and respected his decisions. So much, that he was taking care of my husband, and then both of my parents, when they were all looking for someone, so he joked with me that I meant it when I said he was like family. Once he realized that I had a daughter, he would ask about her, and once we found out that her boyfriend went to school with his son, it was just another link. He offered me his cell number in case I needed it, because the pain was so bad, in case he coud do something for me, or prescribe something without me going to the ER, not many Dr's are like that. I know that i am not the only one he has done that for. He helped me make the decision on what to do when we found out that I have chronic pancreatitis, and if I should get a pain pump put in permanently, and then when i should still see him. he told me do not worry, I will not leave you to deal with your neck issues alone. he never did, that was just how he was. He did not leave me alone with my neck issues, that hurt beyond explination a lot of the time, but someone took him from all of us. I am so sorry for his wife and children and the rest of his family. Also for his coworkers. I know how much I cared for him as my doctor, and how much he will be missed and how much i have been in shock. I cannot even imagine how much moreso it is for those who were that much closer to him. If there is ever anything that I can do for any of you, please let me know. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Sincerely. Anjonette Pezan CMT

I was a patient of Todds. I saw him every 3 months for 10 + years. His kindness and attention to making my condition virtually go away changed my quality of life dramatically. He always gave me a feeling that he really cared and I wasn't just another patient. I'm sure he conveyed this to everyone he treated. During this difficult time, my sincere prayer is that your family will find some sort of peace by knowing how much Todd was loved and respected by his patients, colleagues, community, family and friends. He will be tremendously missed.

Message from Robin Rajski

Please accept my very deepest condolences. Doc Todd was every wonderful adjective rolled up in one exceptional human. My first appointment with Doc, I sat speechless in awe as he entered the room and introduced himself. I took in this beautiful light, his sharp beyond words sense of style, (I so wanted to ask him if his shoes were Italian, lol) his eye contact, gentle and accommodating manner. When we had to part ways after several treatments, for a course of relief through surgery, he sat in front of me and apologized. Sincerely. I, again was hit with something I had not experienced before in the medical world.

I am so blessed to have been his patient, and told him so. He still was available for any concerns I had in the future, he said. Wow.

There are no words to help with the pain of Doc's loss. I have been gutted since I learned the news. He and everyone associated with him have been in my heart and on my mind every moment since.

Prayers up for all. I pray each will feel his blessing impact on you. I do. I know Doc is sweetly rested with God, in the palm of His hand.

Carry on in his manner, keeping this true legend alive in all.

With sadness, and sincerity,
Robin Rajski, patient

He was so young, had so much left to give and so willing to give. Being good friends with his parents made him seem like part of our family.

It was an honor to be able to induct him into the Athens High School Wall of Fame. I will always cherish that memory.

Our sympathy and our love goes out to his wife and children. We are so sorry!

Prayers for the family of Dr. Graham, may your wonderful memories of him help give you comfort and peace.

Deepest sympathy,
A patient of Dr. Graham

Message from Nurse-Nicole Scott

Dr. Graham will forever be missed, I enjoyed the time spent caring for his patients at Sprenger Health Care. He was thorough, caring and had their best interests first. He did light up a room with his aura and spunk.
Thank you Dr. Graham for all the teachable moments you shared with us, the loving touch you offered.
May your family be forever in his hands. God bless all of you.

Dr. Todd was such a caring and genuine physician. He will be missed. Blessings to his family.

Message from karen kaminski

Keeping yourself healthy will enable you to keep Todd's values and skills alive. My husband died last October. It helps to believe i'm married to an angel. the most depressing part of news stories like this is that when you know a good doctor or pilot is one of the victims, everyone becomes victimized through the loss of their skill, talents, and people skills. The Graham family is in my prayers.

Only peace for such a significant loss. The wind has been knocked out of our rehab community. And our community. He was in fact electric. A falling star. We loved him while we had him. A great doc. A fabulous dad. And a great friend.

I was referred to Dr. Todd years ago (before eventual back surgery), and I was extremely impressed by him. I have never forgotten his kindness and professionalism as he cared for me, and I gave his name to numerous friends seeking a pain management doctor. You have my sincere condolences in this difficult time. Know that he has touched many in his short time with us. He is truly an angel.

So sorry for the loss of Dr Todd Graham. I grew up with Todd in Athens IL. Our families were best friends. I have wonderful memories of Todd. Traveling on family trips, playing board games, and going to church/school were just a few things we all did together. My dad would never miss one of Todd's basketball games. My families hearts are broken when we heard the news. It was an honor to have him in our lives. Please know that Marilyn, Stacy, and I are praying for all of Todd's family during this time.

Message from JANET Tobolski

Dr. Graham found a solution to my back pain that I had all my adult life, he didn't hesitate in taking care of my back pain. He gave cortisone shots in my back and explained he would do that two times after that he would culterize the five nerves in L1,2,3,4,and 5. He changed my life completely. No pain after the 2nd go of cortisone! I was pain free for the first time since my teens. I am 70. What a relief! He was a very dedicated doctor and a very gentle soul and it was very evident he loved his profession. God be with all of you during your time if grief. He is in our daily rosary as are all of his love ones. The least I can do to repay him for my pain free life. God bless you all each and every day.

Message from Kim Earl and Genex Indiana

What a precious individual Dr. Graham was! We thank you so much for sharing him with the medical community, our nurses, and our patients.

Message from Bill & Dianna

As patients of Dr. Graham both my wife and I are saddened by this senseless, horrific act of violence. To think this good man was taken away from his family and others for virtually no reason is hard to fathom. A life dedicated to helping others has ended much too soon. The world lost a very, very good man, one who we will miss as will countless others whom he so humbly served and made well. Our condolences to all members of his family, our prayers are with you.
