________
The committee on House Invitations and Memorial Resolutions
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 400) to request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of US-76 and State Road S-30-46 (US 76) in Laurens County "Nathaniel Hunter Sipes Memorial, etc., respectfully
Report:

DENNIS MOSS for Committee.
_______
A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME the intersection of US-76 and State Road S-30-46 (US 76) IN Laurens COUNTY "Nathaniel Hunter sipes memorial intersection" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE DESIGNATION.
Whereas, Nathaniel Hunter Sipes was born on May 14, 2001, to parents James Sipes and Angela Wilson Whiteford. He was a graduate of Laurens Academy, whose headmaster, Todd Kirk, remembers him as a "wonderful young man with a wonderful spirit"; and
Whereas, Hunter passed away on Sunday, June 27, 2021. He was a firefighter with the City of Clinton Fire Department and an employee of Food Lion in Clinton. He aspired to work as a full-time firefighter with the Clinton department; and
Whereas, a devout Christian, Hunter was a member of Bellview Baptist Church; and
Whereas, in his spare time, he enjoyed riding his motorcycle, being outdoors, hunting, and fishing. He will be remembered for his infectious smile; and
Whereas, in addition to his parents, Hunter leaves to cherish his memory his brother, Cody Sipes (Ashleigh); his nephew, James Iler Sipes; the love of his life, Kadince Robinson; his paternal grandparents, Dennis and Dianne Sipes; and his step-father, Stephen Whiteford. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, James Wilson and Marie Wilson; and his step-grandfather, Claude Morgan; and
Whereas, Hunter's promising future was cut tragically short. It would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of US-76 and State Road S-30-46 (US 76) in Laurens County "Nathaniel Hunter Sipes Memorial Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing the designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the family of Nathaniel Hunter Sipes.
