Thomas Lynn Grafe

Thomas Lynn Grafe, 62, of Poughkeepsie, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at his home on November 2, 2025, with his loving wife by his side.

He was born on April 29, 1963, in Pasadena, Texas, to late Ronald Grafe and Madeline Fleniken (Polker). Thomas proudly served six years in the United States Army as a member of the 11B Company 143 Airborne Rangers. He later worked for many years as a dedicated railroad worker for the Missouri Northern Arkansas Railroad Company before retiring.

Thomas was a man who loved the outdoors—he found joy in hunting, fishing, sailing, and simply spending time in nature. He deeply treasured every moment shared with his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father Ronald Grafe, mother, Madeline Fleniken; and stepfather, Calvin Fleniken.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of eight years, Kay Grafe; stepmother, Barbara Grafe; mother-in-law, Beverly Williams; brothers, Bobby Kinghorn Grafe (Tim) and Chris Grafe (Olivia); daughters, Gina Theriot (Justin), Amber Fletcher (Jared), and Kayla Egeli (Tarik); step son Christopher Gullet (Lusi) and his beloved grandchildren, Kyan, Kohen, Ailyn, Layton, Amelia, Madelyn, Maci, Talen, Theodore, Issac, Lucas, Liliana and Warren.

A Celebration of Life will be held on November 15, 2025, to honor and remember Thomas’s life and legacy.

Arrangements are under the care of Qualls Funeral Homes.
