Blake Harrison Obituary

BLAKE BAKER HARRISON, JR. Blake Baker Harrison, Jr., 84, of Hampstead, died December 31, 2020, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. He was born December 22, 1936, in Yonkers, NY to the late Blake Baker Harrison and Helen Thorne Lonon Harrison. Survivors include his son, Blake Harrison III and Brett Harrison. Blake loved boating and living a life by and on the water. He was very fond of sayings, the latest of which should bring a smile to anyone who truly knew him: "An apple a day, thrown hard enough, will keep anyone away". Rest in peace Dad, we will never forget the lessons you taught us or the love that you showed us. Special thanks to the caretakers in the memory care unit of Woodbury Wellness Center in Hampstead, NC.

Blake and Brett,
We were so sorry to learn of your dad's passing. It was our pleasure to know your dad for the twenty some years that we leased a shop space from him. He was always honest and helpful in business dealings. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both during this time.

I remember meeting Blake when he first moved to Wilmington back in the 80’s. He was a very outgoing person as well as being an astute and ethical businessman. It’s been quite a while since we last spoke and he’s been through many health challenges, but it’s good to know he’s able to be at peace now. My sincere condolences to his family.

When I came to be Pastor of Sneads Ferry Presbyterian Church 10 years ago Blake and Mary Kate were devoted members of the Church. Even as their health felled we continued to remember them. We visited Blake regularly at Woodbury up until COVID. We pray for comfort and peace for your family. Pastor Bill Young
