Graham Harrison

Graham Andrew Harrison, 45, of Concord, NC entered the presence of his Lord and Savior on Monday, May 24, 2021.

Graham was born on June 16, 1975, in Charlotte to the late John Harrison and Lois Harrison. Graham grew up in Charlotte, graduating from Northside Christian Academy before attending Liberty University where he graduated with his Bachelor in Business and Education and Masters of Religion. While attending Liberty University, he met his future wife and married soon after in 2004. Ten years later, following the Lord’s leading, they moved to Charlotte to fulfill his dream of becoming a business entrepreneur as well as being near his mom and sis. Through dedication and hard work, Graham successfully grew the Sweet Frog business as he ministered to the hearts of his employees, customers, and community.

Graham treasured his relationship with his Savior, Jesus Christ. From his early days, his desire was to exemplify his Lord with every breath he took. He showed the love of Christ to his family and friends, loving them as Christ loved the church. Through every action and conversation, he reinforced the importance of Christ being the center of their life. He deeply loved his sweet wife, Rachel and the life they created with their children.  From watching Hallmark with Emma, to pool games with Abby, to introducing sports to Drew, he invested every available moment to set a strong foundation within his family. Graham was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.

He lived well. He loved well. He is missed by many.

He is survived by his wife of 17 years, Rachel Hine Harrison of Concord, NC; children, Emma, Abby and Drew; mother, Lois May Harrison; sister, Heather Ruth Harrison; Rachel's parents, Mark and Toy Hine; Rachel's sisters, Jessica and husband Kevin, Emily and husband Brandon; niece, Jaleigh; nephews, Kellan, JR and Eli; as well as countless friends that were family to him.  Graham will be dearly missed by all those who knew him and loved him.
