Charles Hampton Obituary

HAMPTON, JR.,

CHARLES ELMER, 57

Minister Charles Elmer Hampton, Jr., 57, was born on August 11, 1956 to the union of Charles Elmer and Ruth Campbell Hampton. He was baptized at Gilgal Missionary Baptist Church and also served at Magnolia M.B. Church. When the three churches in Johnson Crossroads merged, they became Trinity United M.B. Church, under the leadership of Dr. Clarence Woods. Minister Hampton was a 1974 graduate of Interlachen High School, and he attended Santa Fe Community College. His military career began in 1979 at Ft. Jackson, SC and then to Hunter Army Air Field in Savannah, GA. He also served in Germany. In addition, he was a member of the Army Reserve in Palatka and Gainesville. Special recognition goes to the entire staff of the Kidney Dialysis Center in Hawthorne and the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville. Not to be forgotten are the VAMC Palliative Care Unit and the staff at Park Meadows Health & Rehabilitation Center of Gainesville.

Minister Hampton was preceded in death by his father, Charles Elmer Hampton, Sr. and brother, Thadious.

He leaves to cherish his memory, a loving and devoted mother, Ruth Campbell Hampton; three sisters, Joyce (Pastor Leonard) Scott, Sharon (Jimmie) O'Neal, and Ursula Hampton-Goodrum; one brother, Wayne (Deborah) Smith; one aunt, Dorothy Hampton Green; special uncle-cousin, Eugene (Dorothy) Jackson; nieces, Kendra Smith and Shauntella Smith; nephews, Jimmie Tyrell O'Neal and Deontray Smith; six grand nieces and numerous cousins who reside throughout the United States; faithful friends, Larry Faulkner, Selena Fountain, Denise Girtman, Bessie Alexander, Dr. Woods and the entire Trinity United M.B. Church Family. Minister Hampton was famous for his very tasty Million-Dollar Pies that he was delighted to furnish for any occasion. He will be missed by the entire Johnson Crossroads community.
