Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of John Dunbar Kornegay on March 11, 2020, at the venerable age of eighty-five; and
Whereas, affectionately known as "Big John" to family and friends, this Columbia native was born the son of Caleb Grainger and Saluda Dunbar Kornegay on August 17, 1934; and
Whereas, Big John, in the fullness of God's time, met and married the lovely Aimee Reese Kornegay, and they were blessed with loving children; and
Whereas, answering the call of his country, Mr. Kornegay served in the United States Army and was a member of the James Leroy Belk American Legion Post 17; and
Whereas, he was a man of faith, and he served the Lord as a member of Bethesda Presbyterian Church; and
Whereas, during the course of his career, Mr. Kornegay served as president of Kornegay Funeral Home. In 1986, he moved to Edisto Island and became a residential contractor; and
Whereas, predeceased by his brothers, C. Grainger Kornegay, Jr., and George V. Kornegay, John Kornegay leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Aimee Reese Kornegay; his children, Aimee "Petey" Kornegay and Brian Nelson of Boykin, Virginia "V.V." Van Metre Kornegay of Camden, and John Dunbar Kornegay, Jr., of Camden; his grandchildren, Aimee Kornegay Davy (Bill), John Anderson Thompson III (Mary Katherine), James Kornegay Thompson (Addie), John Dunbar Kornegay III, and Mary Reese "Reesie" Kornegay Maracich (Eddie); his great-grandchildren, Anderson, Mary Addis and Pierce Thompson, Louise Thompson, and Masey Maracich. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Aimee Reese Kornegay for the family.
