Adam J. Harrison

Adam James Harrison, of Boston, Massachusetts, passed away on July 27, 2025, surrounded by love. Adam was a devoted husband, loyal friend, and respected attorney. Born on August 14th 1992 and raised in Brattleboro, Vermont, Adam began his education at St. Michael's Catholic School and Brattleboro Area Middle School, before graduating from Vermont Academy in 2010. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire in 2014, and his Juris Doctor from New England Law in 2018. He passed the bar that same year, quickly establishing himself as a thoughtful and principled legal mind. Adam built a distinguished career at Chartwell Law, where he rose to the position of Partner. He was admired not only for his legal insight, but for his steady mentorship, humility, and unwavering sense of right and wrong. An accomplished athlete, Adam played ice hockey and baseball throughout his youth and high school years. He continued to stay active into adulthood, especially cherishing his annual pond hockey weekends in Lake Placid with his team, The Sneaky Snakes, a tradition marked by grit, laughter, and lifelong friendship. He loved dinners out in Boston's North End with his loved ones, never turned down an oyster or a sip of Fernet-Branca, and cherished weekends on the Cape. A passionate sports fan, Adam proudly rooted for the New York Giants, Boston Bruins, Red Sox, and Celtics, rarely missing a game when any of his teams were on. He had a deep love of music, from countless live shows to listening to records and singing in his living room with friends late into the night. Adam was incredibly bright, quick witted, and fiercely loyal. He had a thoughtful presence, often quiet and observant, always deeply engaged, but just as often, he was the loudest laugh in the room. Whether offering a listening ear or lighting up a gathering with his humor, Adam was the heart and soul of every room he entered. He was a constant: the guy who always picked up, always followed through. The teammate who always showed up. And the partner who loved without limits. His loyalty ran deep, and his presence brought comfort, and smiles to everyone around him. Adam was predeceased by his beloved grandmother, MJ Bibeau; his maternal grandfather, Jim Rabideau; and his step grandfather, Bob Bibeau. He is survived by his loving wife, Cassie; his parents, Robbie and Jodi Harrison; his sister, Aimee, and nephew, Brody; his grandparents, Pete and Judy Harrison, and Nancy Ellis; as well as extended family and many very close friends who loved him like family. A celebration of life will be held in Brattleboro, Vermont at the Elks Lodge on Putney Road on August 17th from 12 – 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Caring For A Cure in Adam's honor, a nonprofit founded by the nurses of Massachusetts General Hospital's adult hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplant program.
