Marcus Hammond Obituary

HAMMOND, Marcus The innocent life of Marcus Keith Hammond, age 44, was taken on Thursday evening, December 8th outside his favorite restaurant, Bobo's, on James Island. A loving father and faithful friend, Marc will be missed by all who shared his life. The memorial service will be at 11:00 o'clock a.m., Wednesday, December 14, 2005 at the MCALISTER-SMITH FUNERAL HOME, DOWNTOWN CHAPEL, 150 Wentworth St. (722-8371) Inurnment will be later at Beaufort National Cemetery. Marc grew up in the Charleston area, attended Middleton High School, and proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1979 until 1982 as a Security Specialist. He was most recently employed by Harborside Renovations and lived on James Island. He is survived by his mother, Virginia Lee Hammond of Moncks Corner; a daughter, Samantha, age 9, Hollywood; brothers and sisters: Steven Hammond, Moncks Corner, SC; Teresa Hammond-Moore, Moncks Corner, SC; Lee Johnston Jr., Hampton, SC; Debra Thomas, Fairfax, SC and a niece, Jessica Clay, of James Island, SC. Marc was an avid outdoorsman. He especially loved hunting and fishing but was a terrible golfer with a mean slice. His friends and family will mourn the needless passing of this loving and faithful friend. Arrangements were made through Palmetto Cremation Society. Online memorials may be forwarded to the family at www.mcalister-smith.com. Visit our guestbook at www.charleston.net/deaths.

I miss you buddy - you were a true friend - we had so many good times together. You always made me laugh and you never met a stranger. I miss all the stupid and funny sayings you would come up with. I think about you often - always will, there is a hole in my heart that will always be there - I will see you again one day my friend.

To Marc's friends and family,

You have my deepest sympathies and my heart reaches out to you during this time. Marc was a wonderful neighbor, and I will greatly miss him. I knew him only a short time, but he was very kind and I took comfort in knowing he was nearby if needed. Marc was a great man, and I'm sure he is in a much better place now. May the Lord be with all of you.

I only had the priveledge of meeting Marc one time but knew in that one time what a genuinely nice and warm person he must be. A dear friend of mine thought the world of him therefore I feel a great loss along with my friend. I don't have a doubt in my heart Marc has a place in heaven. To the family left behind, May God be with you and comfort you like no one else can. To the little angel that lost her father, May God be with you and know that your daddy is only a prayer away. May God wrap his arms around Marc's family and friends during this undescribably sad time

I am shocked! Marc and I started as friends, and parted friendly, I only wished him happiness. I thought he found it when he told me he was having a child, and I wished him well.

Our 10 years together will be remembered not for the end, but for the sweet, kind person I fell in love with.

You are in my thoughts and prayers,

God Bless.
