On Wednesday, October 5, 2022, Damon Lamont Corley (known to most as Lamont) received a call from God and he answered. He was born on July 1, 1972, in Orangeburg, SC. He was the son of Hariel and Retha Corley. Damon attended Blackville-Hilda High School and graduated in May 1990. Damon was a proud member of the Carolina Cavaliers Marching Band. After graduation, Damon entered into the United States Navy where he served his country for and few years and was honorably discharged.

Damon accepted Christ at an early age at the Mount Zion Baptist Church. Because of his love for music he joined the A. C. Settles Gospel Choir.

Damon enjoyed traveling. He didn't mind driving home from Tampa, Atlanta or wherever he was and then returning home the same day.

Damon was an avid fan of the Blackville-Hilda Hawks, University of South Carolina Gamecocks, and the Atlanta Falcons. There was not a game he didn't watch and his family knew not to call him while he was watching his teams play.

He was a loving, caring and selfless person who will be missed by all.
