Emory Daniel Hamilton

Emory Daniel Hamilton, was born February 27, 1942 to Joseph and Cleo Hamilton.  He “gained his wings” on Sunday, March 5, 2017, completing that journey that delivers the soul to GOD.

Emory was united in Holy Matrimony to Corene Reynolds on July 12, 1969.  To this union, they were blessed with two lovely daughters, Sharon and Kenya.

After graduating from high school, Emory attended Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida.  He was owner/operator of KSCH Trucking for 35 years.  He was currently owner/operator of C & H Liquor of Donalsonville, Georgia.

Emory Hamilton gave his life to CHRIST and joined Saint Matthew Missionary Baptist Church, where he served as Church Usher for many years.  Even though he was not actively affiliated with his church during his latter years, he devoted his life to rendering service to others who were in need.
