Graham Jarrett
October 7, 1966 ~ September 4, 2024
Born in:
Adelaide, Australia
Resided in:
Fairview, North Carolina
Graham Trevor Jarrett, 57, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
Graham was born in Australia to the late Rex Edward and Jane Jarrett. He moved to England at a year old and remained through university. He then returned to Australia, the land he loved. He traveled the world for work, which led him to the US where he met and married his wife, Regina. Together they had three daughters, Grace, Ashley, and Isabella. Graham was a dedicated husband and Father who loved his family deeply. He was a wonderful dad to his daughters.
He was passionate about missions and traveled with Flint Global to Tanzania in Africa in 2022. He wanted to travel the world and share the gospel. He loved photography, reading, telling stories, and singing, but mostly his family. Graham was also an incredibly smart man. He enjoyed being given a challenge to solve. When his daughters had a problem, he faithfully came up with solutions. He dedicatedly provided for his family as a software engineer, working from home he also helped homeschool and was a part of everyday life. His home life and his at-home-office life occasionally gave way to his unique problem-solving methods. On occasion, when contemplating a particularly difficult problem with no apparent or easy solution, he would move on to a chore, like mowing the lawn. While his wife remained inside, concerned over his challenge, he returned from his chore, happy and with the solution. He taught his daughters the love of Jesus Christ, the importance of a good work ethic, family, and helping others. He was always ready to give a hug or crack a joke. Graham was always willing to help with whatever challenges life handed his family or neighbors. He loved being generous and helping those in need. His love and joy will be deeply missed
He is survived by his wife of 23 years Regina Jarrett, His three daughters Grace, Ashley, and Isabella Jarrett, and two brothers Stephen Jarrett (Tanya), and Christopher Jarrett, as well as many extended family members and friends.

I most enjoyed Graham’s stories of travel and home life, and when he brought out his didgeridoo! He was never shy about his immense love for his family, and he would beam with pride when talking about his daughters.
To Graham’s wife, Regina, and each of his daughters: May you never forget the sound of his voice, the ring of his laugh, the warmth of his hugs, and the absolute adoration he held for you, above all else.
Sending you love, comfort, and peace.
Always,
Kristen

We are profoundly saddened at Graham’s passing. He was such an amazing dad, husband, neighbor, and friend. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do! When not working, he was outdoors transforming your landscape and building things. Graham was so devoted to you, his family, and his faith. The mission trips were life changing. His prowess at BBQ and wood smoking are legendary. The neighborhood parties you hosted brought us all together ❤️ We will miss him for so many reasons, and know you had a great love and spiritually rich life, and many wonderful adventures as a family. That love, and those memories, will be with you always. Though he is gone from this physical life, he is in the arms of The Lord, eternally. Our love and prayers are with you all, we are here to support you on this new path before you.

Oh thank you for all your kind words and memories of the fun times and the wonderful projects Graham my dear husband was often doing. He did indeed my our lives full of fun, adventure, love and joy!!
Graham, I will miss your dry sometimes wry sense of humor, your kindness, generosity, and love of God.
Regina and girls, may God surround you with the love and support of family and friends and grant you the strength to face the days ahead. May you find peace in our Savior and the memories of Graham you hold in your hearts. Cathy
I pray you all endure through this time, never let the fond memories go, and live on in Christ. We’ll see him again!
Your prayers are a precious gift to us. Thank you.
We love you, Ted, Valerie, Sarah & Christopher
I worked with Graham at both Workfront and Infor. He is a man of integrity and treated everyone he worked with with kindness and respect. It fits his work character that he is a man of faith and family. What a touching tribute.
He was a man who I know found his peace as a family man.
News of his passing shocked me and I know as a family you ll be supporting one another..
We had a lot of fun growing up and those times flooded back in the last few weeks… .even the road trip we had in his mums car where he misjudged a junction and I got my side T boned… Even that didn’t phase him..
Graham.. You were a gentleman and you’ve left a huge hole in the world

Graham has left an indelible mark by his commitment to his girls, including you, Regina. I see him in each of your girls, especially in their character. I’ll always remember my times with him on the sidelines, both soccer and rugby. We love you fiercely, sweet sisters in Christ.
We didn’t know Graham really well, but bonded on the rugby and soccer pitch sidelines. Once he was aware that I, too, was an immigrant (Irish) and a Christian all barriers dropped. Loved his subtle smile and genuine love for the Lord. Miss him, but know fully that he’s in a good place. We can’t always know the mind of God, since, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians13:12
Thank you so much for your message. Living so far away from where Graham grew up it’s easy for the girls and I to feel rather removed from that part of Graham’s life so your message is especially appreciated!! Yes, Graham truly was a wonderful husband and father. He has blessed us with many great memories and is so dearly missed! Thank you for your kind words. Blessings to you
