Graham was born on Woodside in Wigmore in 1955, son to Beryl and Bernard, and younger brother to Steve.
In 1978 he married Suzanne, and after a few evangelical missions to Mozambique and Portugal, they had four children; David, Deborah, Samuel and Rebecca.
He worked for many years as an Environmental Health Officer, and became a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health. However in the early 2000s, Graham left this role and became a full-time househusband.
His passions included playing music, especially Church worship, Formula 1, DIY and bible study. He became a landlord for both Samuel and David, and was a fix-it-man for all who knew him. He was often behind the scenes, encouraging and supporting many projects in and around St Mark's. He cared fiercely for the environment, and he spent much of his time keeping up to date on the latest technology.
Graham is much missed by all his family and friends, and has left a considerable legacy through all the lives he touched.

A wise and faithful man of God. The Wilkins family are woven into the fabric of my early days at St Marks. There have been many occasions when Graham took the time to check in with me, asking after my parents and offering words of wisdom when asked for.
