Brian A. Hamilton

 “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”  2 Timothy 4:6-8

Brian Anthony Hamilton was born in Brooklyn, New York on January 17, 1960; he was the son of the late George Green and Barbara Hamilton.  He departed this life on Thursday, August 8, 2024, at his place of residence in Walterboro, South Carolina.

Brian attended the public schools of New York; after he graduated high school, he enlisted into The United States Marine Corp in 1978 and was honorably discharged in 1988.  During his tour of service, he was stationed in Japan, Spain, Camp Lejeune (North Carolina), Parris Island, The Marine Corps Air Station (Beaufort, SC) and many different places.

Brian gave his life to Christ while attending Greater Saint James (currently known as Saint Center Ministries) and was a devoted usher.  He was an avid fisherman, he loved to make people laugh and he also had a way with words.  He made his way into the hearts of those he encountered and left a lasting impression that’s hard to forget. Surrounded by family and friends, on January 12, 2020, Brian re-joined in Holy Matrimony to the former Betty King; they were wedded for a total of 17 years.

Along with his parents, Brian Anthony Hamilton was preceded in death by his grandmother Bessie Hamilton, grandfather Joseph Hamilton, three sisters, Deborah Hamilton Traore, Lillian Hamilton and Terrie T. Hamilton and one brother, Darryl A. Hamilton.
