Stephen Lawrence 'Steba' Harrison, 55, of Konawa, Oklahoma, died at his home Wednesday, August 11, 2021. Steba was born December 24, 1965 in Pawnee, Oklahoma to June Harrison, Jr. and Susie (Ahaisse) Jones. He graduated from Konawa High School in 1984, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma in 1992, where he studied speech communications and joined the choir. He was a member of the Pentecostal Church of God Indian Mission in Konawa. He enjoyed family life and watching his nieces and nephews play sports. He worked for the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center as a cashier for fifteen years. Steba was the friendliest, caring and kindest, non-judgmental person, who loved making people laugh and feel welcome. He had a smile that lit up the room and brightened anyone's day. When the nieces and nephews were younger, he told them fairy tales that ended up unique; for example, the three little pigs went to Wal-mart instead of the market, and the kids enjoyed his stories very much. Steba was fun to be around and work with as told by his two BFFs, Renell Holman and Alicia Gibson. He had many friends wherever he went. He would be truly missed. He was survived by a son, Ezekiel Solano; two daughters, Chesape Solano and Lynn Solano, all of the home; three sisters, Linda Harrison of Shawnee, Oklahoma, Johnna Grant of Konawa, and Robyn Melton of Carnegie, Oklahoma; and many nieces and nephews, other family, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Vincent Harrison; and a nephew, Christopher Daniels. A Wake service was held 5-7 PM on Sunday, 15 August, at the Swearingen Funeral Home chapel in Konawa. A Graveside service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, 16 August, at Vamoosa Cemetery, with Beverly Altizer officiating. Casket bearers were: Travis Hunter, Josh Pranzetti, Jonathan Walker, Joshua Melton, Eli Melton, Gabriel Walker, Vincent Walker, and Peyton Hunter. Honorary bearers were: Johnny Harjo, Tony Melton, James Dean Harjo, Winfred Harjo, and Ronald Gipson.
