Harry Ian Abrahams

September 3, 2002 - May 24, 2020

Harry Abrahams, 17, of Austin, TX, died on Sunday, May 24, 2020. Harry was born in Atlanta on September 3, 2002. He is survived by his parents Susan and David Abrahams, and his brother Sam Abrahams along with many friends, family members and teachers who all loved him. Harry spent much of his childhood living in Rogers, Arkansas where he enjoyed video games, especially DOTA, cooking, animals, skateboarding and interacting with his friends. Growing up, he excelled on his soccer team as a goalie, and he was an outstanding golfer. Harry was the kind of student who could always make his teachers laugh with a sly grin or a well-placed joke told in a deadpan tone. He was also effortlessly intelligent, and he let his curiosity guide him to learn about the world around him. We would like to share that Harry took his own life. Harry sought counseling and took medications, but his pain from his mental illness was too much to bear. Our hearts are beyond broken. Harry, it was a privilege to have you in our lives; we will always love you. We hated to see you being forced to carry such an overwhelming load of pain and suffering. We take solace in the fact that you are now free of this illness and are in a place where you have peace and love. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, we urge you to support the Will to Live Foundation at https://will-to-live.org/.
