On Friday, October 14th, 2022 John C. Hamrick, III (Jack), 73, followed his beloved Mother Mary Emma Rambo Hamrick and Father, John C. Hamrick, Jr., his sister Ina Gay Hamrick into peaceful rest with their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A life-long resident of North Charleston, Jack was baptized at Park Circle Presbyterian Church. He remained a member until its closing. He graduated from North Charleston High School where he met the love of his life Donna Hunter. After completing his college degree in mathematics from Presbyterian College, he married her. She remained his love and partner for the next 52 years. After serving 6 years in the Navy, Jack returned home and began at North Charleston High School.
A proud father of two sons, John C. Hamrick, IV (Jay) and Christopher Ryan Hamrick (Ryan); his beloved grandchildren Quinn, Tyler and Brianna. Jack vowed to be a major part in their early lives by coaching them in recreational sports, mentoring in scouts, being there if they needed him and worshiping with them on Sunday.
During this time, computers began their run and Jack returned to school to earn degrees in both computer science and business. This led to a career that spanned 40 years culminating with 27 years at Piggly Wiggly Carolina.
Jack cherished his family, the friendships made during his career and those made after his retirement around the neighborhood as he walked his precious dog Domino. God also graced him with two very special daughters-in-laws Trina (Jay) and Rebecca (Ryan). Since he had such love of children, the gathering of his grand kids and those from the area always brought him great joy.
A Visitation will be held on Tuesday October 18, 2022 from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Carolina Memorial Funerals & Cremation, 7113 Rivers Ave., North Charleston, SC 29406.
