Monty Chambers

Monty was born on April 2, 1930, the son of Ed and Eddie (Mosely) Chambers, into a farming family in Miller County, GA. He was raised near Thomasville and Cairo, GA, where he worked on the Ochlocknee family farm and graduated from Cairo High School. Monty served his country honorably during the Korean War as a Technical Staff Sergeant-Airplane Mechanic in the U.S. Air Force. Monty was a peaceful, law-abiding, and humble down-to-earth man who attended local church services, was a faithful sports fan, a talented gardener, and had many trade-level skills. His background led to various careers including as an insurance agent in Wakulla County and was then employed by the Wakulla County School District. He ran for the office of Clerk of Court in Wakulla County in 1968. He was later employed by the Ring Power Corporation, where he retired in Tallahassee.

He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Mabel (Stokes) Chambers, his parents, five brothers and two sisters, and grandson Aaron Chambers.

Monty is survived by three sons, Bobby Chambers, Billy Chambers, and Donald Stokes; daughters-in-law Constance Chambers and Tonya Stokes; grandsons Joshua (Rachel) and James Chambers; granddaughter Ashley Stokes; great-granddaughter Alyssa Chambers (Kristyna Hurst); sisters Dorothy Grimsley and Carolyn Townsend, and brother Jerry Chambers (Gladys), along with numerous nieces and nephews.
