Henry Cumbie Obituary

Henry L. Cumbie, Sr.; 78, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on Wednesday June 4, 2025 at his home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He was born on September 28, 1946 in McCellanville, South Carolina to the late Joe S. & Annie Blakely Cumbie.
Along with his parents, Henry is reunited in passing with his beloved wife, Teresa Diane Cumbie; granddaughter, Kaleigh Diana Cumbie; grandson, Haven Mikale Randolph; and brothers Donny Cumbie & Jimmy Cumbie.
Henry proudly served our country in the United States Navy. Following his honorable discharge, Henry went on to work for the State of South Carolina as a State Trooper. After many years of dedicated service, Henry retired. Before joining the Navy, Henry went to work for Horry County as a School Bus Driver for 2 years where he touched the lives of many with a simple smile. In his free time, Henry attended Socastee Family Worship Center, was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Columbia, SC and proudly served as a Shriner with Jamil Shrine Temple in Columbia, SC. Henry relished time spent making memories with family and friends. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered for his quick wit, bright smile and the love he had for his family.

I had not seen Henry for years but knew him through the police department (through work). He was such a nice person, always smiling. Sending prayers to his family.

Henry,Jr and Bradley.... I am so sorry for your loss. Y'all know how close Henry and I were as friends. We spent a lot of days and nights together working for SCHP and SCLEOA. He was a truly great friend and I and everyone who knew Henry have suffered a tremendous loss. Prayers for the family and let us all remember the laughter and good times he brought us.

To eveyone in Henry's family and to every one who knew him. I am so sorry for your loss. Henry and I grew up together yet in different towns. Our families were very close. Wish it could have been the same as we grew up, but we went our own way and lost touch.Henry was my cousin but to me he was like a big brother in times I needed one. I pray for everyone in the family and his friends, also. God bless all.
Love you Henry
