Charmont Freeman King, first born of the late Anderson and Elnora Smith King, exchanged this life on earth for one of eternal rest and peace early Sunday Morning on November 25, 2018.

Charmont was educated in the Harnett County School System and then went on to learn various trades through LCI, Sanford., NC. Charmont grew up in Cameron but later moved to Sanford where he called home until his death. He was a loved and well known by the residents of Stewart Manor where he lived since May of 2004. From early in life he was a member of St. John, NC, where he loved singing songs with the Gospel Choir and Male Chorus.  We can remember a song he often sang, “God’s got a way, you must come in at the door”. This song was taught to him by Evelyn Weathers, Minister of Music who he loved and cherished. Charmont lived a very simple life. He loved the Lord and trusted everyone he encountered. He was fun to be around and his outbursts of laughter were intoxicating.
