Steven Kerry Abraham

Kerry was a commercial fisherman owner and operator of his Shrimping vessel, The Miss Kathy and co-owner of St. Helen Seafood. He was a native of Beaufort and began his career at an early age with his Uncle Jimmy. He bought his first boat at age 17, which led to a long career as a successful commercial fisherman with an expansive knowledge of marine life. He was a hard worker and an astute business man. But his greatest passion remained to be the love for his wife Kathy, his parents, family, his stubborn dog “Skipper” and his many dear friends whom he loved very much. Kerry had the innate ability to light up any room that he entered and was respected amongst all who knew him. He had a warm sprit, extremely witty and was a captive storyteller. He served as a past President for the South Carolina Shrimpers Association. While representing the Wild American Shrimp Coalition, he was featured in the Southern Living and Gourmet Magazines.

Kerry is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Kathy Abraham of St. Helena Island; his parents Betty and Abe Abraham of Beaufort SC; his sisters Ann Londeau of Bluffton SC and Teresa Abraham of Beaufort SC; his two daughters Rhyan Williamson and husband Michael of Charlotte NC, Sherri Copenger and husband Jeff of Beaufort SC, and son Steven Abaraham Jr of Bishopville SC; his four nieces Ashley and Maggie Londeau, Ashley and Savannah Cooley, his nephews Alex Londeau’, Rick Herndon, Brett Jones, Kenney Cooley, his grandchild Jackson; his sister in law Babs Jones and her husband Mitch of Charleston SC, and his brother in laws Tim Cooley and Kerry Cooley and his wife Allison of Charleston, SC
