A house RESOLUTION

To recognize and honor the life and contributions of 
Charles Thomas "Tommy" Hammond, to express deep appreciation for his friendship 
and service to Kershaw County, and to extend the sympathy of the South carolina 
House of Representatives to his family and many friends.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives was deeply saddened to learn of the passing 
of Charles Thomas "Tommy" Hammond of Camden on January 25, 2025, at the 
venerable age of eighty three; and

Whereas, born in Camden 
to Jesse Holland Hammond and Sarah Moseley Hammond, Mr. Hammond dedicated his 
life to service, friendship, and community leadership in Kershaw County and 
beyond; and

Whereas, a proud 
graduate of the University of South Carolina with a degree in civil 
engineering, Mr. Hammond faithfully served the South Carolina Department of 
Transportation for forty-two years, culminating his distinguished career as the 
residence maintenance engineer of Kershaw County; and

Whereas, Mr. Hammond 
was a committed member of the Masonic family, including Kershaw Lodge #29, the 
Knights Templar, and the York Rite, exemplifying the highest standards of 
brotherhood, charity, and leadership; and

Whereas, devoted to the 
development of young people, Mr. Hammond coached baseball at Camden High School 
and for American Legion Post 17 from 1981 to 1988, impacting countless lives 
both on and off the field; and

Whereas, beyond his 
professional and civic contributions, Mr. Hammond was a passionate outdoorsman, 
a founding member of the C.T. Hammond Hunt Club, and an enthusiastic supporter 
of his beloved Gamecocks; and

Whereas, his legacy of 
kindness, mentorship, and leadership endures through his beloved family: his 
wife, Jennie Marshall Hammond; his sons, Charles Thomas Hammond, Jr. (Lee), 
Robert Lee Hammond (Julia), and Benjamin Holland Hammond (Laura); his stepsons, 
Marshall Delmer Munn (Angela) and Dwayne Bradley Munn (Christine); his twelve 
grandchildren; his eight great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives, 
friends, and former colleagues; and

Whereas, the House of 
Representatives is grateful for Tommy Hammond's numerous contributions to 
Kershaw County and the State of South Carolina, and for the profound example of 
friendship and service he leaves behind. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor the life and contributions of Charles Thomas "Tommy" 
Hammond, express their deep appreciation for his friendship and service to 
Kershaw County, and extend their heartfelt sympathy to his family and many 
friends during this time of loss.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to the family of Charles Thomas "Tommy" Hammond.
