Lamont C Roper

Lamont Cedrick Roper was born in Charleston SC on February 27, 2022, to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel and Mary Roper.  Lamont resided in Summerville SC with his wife and kids. On July 25, 2022, he entered into eternal rest with a host of loved ones at his bedside; specifically, his wife of 24 years, Tanya, holding his hand and his two children Caliph and Joshua, who loved and cared for their Dad religiously during his illness.  Lamont graduated from Burke high school where he was a proud member of Burke’s esteemed band, where he was a trumpet player. He served as an honorable U.S. Marine before he attended Tuskegee University. Then, Lamont transferred to Morris College where he earned his BA degree. He used his business degree to transfer into the Computer IT (Information Technology) field. Lamont loved tinkering with computers by taking them apart and rebuilding them. This task was not just a job but lots of fun for
him. Lamont parlayed his love of all things IT into a rewarding career as an IT Professional for several reputable companies such as the Naval Base, MUSC Hospital, Roper Hospital and others around the Charleston SC area. Outgoing, joyful and a jokester is how everyone will remember Lamont. He always had a laugh, a smile and a kind word to faces old and new. He would make the best of the worst situations.
