Felix Graham Sherron III, born July 31st, 1968 in Raleigh, NC; passed away March 15th, 2020 in Norfolk, VA of a boating accident.

Graham was preceded in death by his father F. Graham Sherron Jr, and mother Edith Sherron, and brother Wesley Sherron.

Graham is survived by wife Courtney Sherron, his son Jordan Cooper, and two stepchildren Eli Podesta and Jane Podesta, and many friends who he would consider family.

Graham attended Broughton High School in Raleigh, NC. Upon finishing he proudly served 4 years in the U.S. NAVY (Electrician's Mate) onboard the USS Coral Sea (CV-43), 17 years at AMSEC LLC and 11 years at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center; Engineering Department as an Electrical Engineering Technician, Assessment Director, Project Support Engineer, and as a NAVSEA Certified Elevator Assessor.

Anyone that knew Graham could attest to his unconditional love of friends and family, his passion and integrity for all that he did, his love of music, and his never-ending devotion to help others. Graham was a man of wisdom and focus, prophetic in his words, and precise in his desires. He was the epidemy of the word love. A natural leader, teacher, and coach, Graham dedicated himself to raising his children to be authentic, respectful individuals. He shared his love of nature with the people that surrounded him. Even though Graham had a small family growing up, he built one of the largest families you could ever imagine placing others before himself while continuously shining his light on the world.

In Lieu of flowers donations can be made to Child Fund International or IBMA Bluegrass Trust Fund.

Due to current social circumstances we are not able to gather and celebrate Graham as we would wish. A Celebration of Life will be held in the future as soon as we are able to come together.

To Courtney, Jordan, and Jane and Eli,

We are very sad to have just learned about the death of our late mother's dear cousin Graham. My mom, Evelyn Sutton Littleton, grew up in Raleigh just a few miles from little Graham and his brother Wesley and was very close with them and Uncle Graham and Aunt Francis. Growing up, we all have fond memories of Little Graham III as our mom's young and fun cousin. We would love to hear how your family is doing - please feel free to email me at [email protected].
Love,
The Littletons
Thomas, Laura, Amy, David, Sarah

My condolences to your family. I worked with Graham the last two years, he taught me so much and he always found a way to get the best out of everyone. The thing I will miss the most about Graham is him walking off the ship and down the pier while giving me advice about work & life and sharing his weekend plans. He will truly be missed. Rest easy Graham!
