Obituary For Mr. Carl Benjamin

Memorial services for Mr. Carl A. Benjamin, 65, of 349 Majority Road, Orangeburg, SC, will be held 4:30 p.m., Saturday, October 22, 2022, at Simmons Funeral Home and Crematory Chapel, 2868 Columbia Road, Orangeburg, SC. Reverend Ronald Benjamin is officiating.

Carl Anthony Benjamin was born December 15, 1956 to Doris Benjamin and the late Christian Benjamin in Orangeburg, South Carolina. He gained his wings on October 19, 2022.

Carl attended the public schools of Orangeburg and Calhoun counties and graduated from Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School in 1975. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army. After a successful tour of service/duty, he returned to the states and worked for the Savannah River Site. During his time at the Savannah River Site, he obtained a degree from the University of Phoenix in Business Management; it is here that he was able to put his degree into practice. Enjoying the work that he did and finding purpose in it, after 30 years of dedicated service, he decided that it was time: he retired from the Savannah River Site. After retirement, he occupied his free time by cheering on his beloved football team, the Atlanta Falcons, traveling, and engaging in the world of sports — whether it was women’s basketball or golf. He is survived by his only daughter, Robin Anderson (Virginia); his mother, Doris Benjamin (South Carolina); four siblings: Charles (Barbie) Benjamin (Georgia), Ronald Benjamin (Georgia); Denise (Harry) Lewis (South Carolina), and Doris Marie Benjamin (South Carolina); three grandchildren: Jaden Gregory (Virginia), Jordan Gregory (Virginia), and Le’Mietrie Anderson (Virginia) as well as a host of aunts, nieces, nephews, other loving family members, and dear friends.

There will be no public viewing.

Family and friends may visit the residence of his mother, Ms. Doris Benjamin, 349 Majority Road, Orangeburg, SC from 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. daily or call Simmons Funeral Home and Crematory of Orangeburg, SC.
