Abraham was the son of David Stern and Francis (Fannie) Strauss Stern. His uncle was Levi Strauss of the denim company. He and his brothers, Jacob, Louis and Sigmund received the company as an inheritance from Levi Strauss but were already the upper level management in the company. He also had sisters named Caroline, Harriet and Lillian and a brother named Henry. Since Levi Strauss never married, he lived with the Sterns.

Abraham married Elsie (Elise) Hortense Meyer, daughter of Eugene Meyer, a prominent New York banker of the firm Lazard Freres.
Abraham and Elsie had one child, John David Stern Sr. born Dec 31, 1900. Abraham died while staying at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco of ptomaine poisoning. After his death, his wife requested $2,500 monthly for living expenses out of his estate. He had an estimated worth of $500,000 to $800,000.
