Charles Malvin Hammock

Charles Malvin Hammock, 84 of Keysville, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, Feb. 11. He was preceded in death by his wife of 59 years, Nancy; his parents, Robert and Gertrude Hammock; brothers, Bobby, Gene, Ricky, Buck and Billy and sisters, Bernice and Juanita.

Charles was a hard-working man who lived for and loved his family and friends. He would give his shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. His favorite pastime was playing cards and spending time with his family. May God continue to richly bless each of you.
