Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods said Graham was by job description “a fellow law enforcement leader” but he personally regarded him as a “friend and mentor.”

“He did all of these well. His service and dedication to his community was never questioned. He loved being the Ocala Police Chief. He loved Ocala and Ocala loved him back. He will be missed by so many that he has affected…myself included,” Woods wrote on Facebook.
