It is with heavy hearts that the family of Harry "Harrison" Bernard Britton announces his passing at the age of 56 in Stone Mountain, Georgia, on July 14, 2024. Born on August 16, 1967, in Jacksonville, Florida, Harrison was the beloved son of Cheryl Stallings.

Harrison's life was filled with diverse experiences and a profound kindness that touched the lives of many. He served his country in the Navy, steering the USS Roosevelt as a helmsman, and later pursued a career in civil aviation before transitioning to become a Senior Support Engineer at Apple. He had a passion for travel, literature, music, fine dining, and Marvel and DC Comics memorabilia, earning a reputation as someone who embraced life to its fullest.

Harrison's warm spirit endeared him to everyone he met, and he was a devoted husband to Peter Britton. He was a cherished son to Cheryl and Robert Stallings, and a loving brother to Derrick Britton (Monica), Jay Stallings (Ashley), Shawn Williams, and Shelby Walker. His memory lives on through his niece, Alexis Stallings, and nephews, Myles and Kyle Britton, as well as numerous relatives and friends who treasured his presence.

A service to celebrate Harrison's life will be held at the AS Turner & Sons Funeral Home & Crematory on July 20, 2024. Visitation will commence at 10:00 am, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 am. The interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests honoring Harrison's memory by planting a tree, donating to the Shepherd Center or the American Cancer Center.

Please join us in honoring and commemorating the life of Harry "Harrison" Bernard Britton, a man of deep compassion and boundless energy, who will forever remain in our hearts.
