Gregg Stephen Harrison

May 3, 1953 – October 27, 2026

Gregg Harrison, 73, passed away on October 27, 2026, in Wixom, Michigan. He was born on May 3, 1953, in Detroit, Michigan.

Gregg was the free spirit of the family, with an often-transcendental view of life, known for his wit, his music, and love of recipes. Gregg was brilliant, with a quick, one-of-a-kind sense of humor that kept friends and family laughing. He was a caring person who loved his nieces and nephews, and when family members were sick, he was there, often visiting and calling to check on them.

He attended Culver Military Academy and obtained two associate degrees from Oakland Community College. For more than 35 years, he ran successful asphalt hauling, parking lot sealing and striping businesses with his friends.

Music was a lifelong part of Gregg’s life. He studied piano at the Detroit Institute of Musical Arts under Margaret Mannebach, the renowned Detroit Symphony Orchestra pianist. In his later years, he enjoyed attending concerts by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra, as well as choral performances.

Gregg was an avid sports fan, always watching, talking, and texting about the Detroit Lions, Red Wings, and Tigers. He loved going to the games with his friends and family.

Gregg is survived by his brothers, Michael R. Harrison (Patricia), David P. Harrison (Amy), and James A. Harrison, PhD (Janet); his sisters-in-law, Cynthia Cookingham, MD and Jane Harrison; many nieces and nephews; and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert D. Harrison and Marion Harrison (née Davidson); his brother, Duane D. Harrison, MD; and his nieces, Caroline Harrison and Clare Harrison.

A memorial service will be held Saturday January 9, 2027 at 3 PM at Faith Covenant Church, 35415 W 14 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills, MI 48331.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Golden Lotus Inc., 9607 Sturgeon Valley Rd., Vanderbilt, MI 49795.
