A house RESOLUTION

 

TO express profound sorrow upon the passing of john Thomas Caughman of kershaw county and to extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of John Thomas Caughman, 48, of Kershaw County on Sunday, February 4, 2024, who exhibited a lifelong devotion to upholding voting integrity. He continues to serve his fellow man by being a vital organ donor; and

 

Whereas, born in Sumter, John was the son of Johnette McCutchen Caughman and the late Wayne Thomas Caughman. He got his start in elections as a teenager helping his mother, who was an election commissioner, by filling in as a poll clerk in Lee County. In 2014, he became assistant director of the Lee County Board of Voter Registration and Elections and later in the same year he became Director of the Kershaw County Board of Voter Registration and Elections; and

 

Whereas, a man of God, John was a faithful member at the St. Andrew Church of God where he was well-loved by his church family. He served his church by teaching children's Sunday school, teaching children's church, and by driving the church bus. John was passionate about reading, computers, science fiction, and comic books; and

 

Whereas, John is survived by his mother, Johnette McCutchen Caughman; brother, Reggie Caughman; and niece, Laney Caughman. He was predeceased by paternal grandparents, Tom and Lula Caughman; and maternal grandparents, Sam and Frances McCutchen. He was loved by all and will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of John Thomas Caughman of Kershaw County and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of John Thomas Caughman.
