In Memoriam: Graham D. Holding (Dec. 15, 1936 – June 20, 2025)

We will miss our friend and longtime partner Graham Holding, who died June 20 after a brief illness. Graham was an extraordinary trusts and estates lawyer, as well as a husband, father, grandfather, outdoorsman, U.S. Army veteran and Tar Heel. In 2019, he received the inaugural Distinguished Service Award from the North Carolina Bar Association’s Estate Planning & Fiduciary Law Section for his significant contributions to this area of law.

“Graham's quiet brilliance, thoughtfulness, humility, and kindness will be remembered by those who knew him and loved him. He stood for fairness, both personally and professionally.” You can read the rest of his obituary here.
