TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF JAMES EDISON CORDER OF BATESBURG 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 James Edison Corder of Batesburg on February 16, 2020, at the venerable age of seventy-five; and
Whereas, a native of Batesburg, James Corder was the son of Savannah Mae Hall Corder and John Etheridge Corder; and
Whereas, this man of faith served the Lord as a member of Hulon Baptist Church, where he sang in the choir and was very active with his children; and
Whereas, because he believed in active participation in his community, he was also a member of the Gideons and the Batesburg-Leesville Rotary Club; and
Whereas, in 1972, Mr. Corder started Corder Pest Control in his back yard and worked hard all his life to grow the business. In connection with his business, he was a member of the Midlands Pest Control Association; and
Whereas, away from the office, this family man loved traveling, camping, and spending time with his loved ones; and
Whereas, preceded in death by his first wife, Doris L. Corder, James Corder leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Vickie B. Corder; his sons, Rodney James (Paige) Corder, Alan Gregory (LeSha) Corder, and Joey Clinton (Jane) Corder; his stepchildren, Cal Forrest and Lauren (Jeph) Watson; his grandchildren, Kaitlin, Derek (Aly), Devun, Mallory, Clinton, and Savannah Corder; his step-grandchildren, Caleigh and Ava Watson; his brothers, Ronald (Debra) Corder and Roy Corder; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of James Edison Corder of Batesburg and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Vickie B. Corder for the family.
