Jonathan Hamrick Marchant

September 2, 2002 – October 16, 2025

Jonathan Hamrick Marchant, age 23, beloved son, brother, and friend, passed away on October 16, 2025, as a result of a car accident on Wadmalaw Island, SC.

Jonathan had a rare gift for making people smile, whether through a perfectly timed joke, a goofy impression, or simply his warm presence. He was the kind of friend who could turn even the dullest moment into something memorable.

Jonathan’s life, though far too short, was rich in love, laughter, and genuine connection. He was an Eagle Scout, loved a good hamburger or steak, watching movies, and being with friends.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the joy of living life with him. Though he’s no longer with us here on earth, his spirit lives on in the stories we share, the laughter he inspired, and the love he gave so freely. We rejoice that he is home now with his heavenly Father.

Jonathan was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church of Charleston and graduated from First Baptist School of Charleston in May of 2021. He graduated from VOX School of Discipleship in May of 2022, and received an Associate Degree from Greenville Technical College in Automotive Technology in Applied Science and the GM Automotive Service Educational Program in May of 2024. He was in sales at Marchant Chevrolet/Ravenel Ford and greatly enjoyed meeting and helping customers and interacting with his coworkers.

Jonathan is survived by his parents, Rob and Dana Marchant of Wadmalaw Island, sisters Elise Marchant and Celeste (Ethan) Loggia and their son, Samuel, Aunt Mimi Marchant and her son, Robert, grandparents John and Ellen Hollingsworth, Great-grandmother Jane Hamrick, the Dunagan Family of Vilas, NC, the Hollingsworth family of Anderson, SC, the Hollingsworth family of Fountain Inn, SC, along with many loving cousins.

A memorial service will be held on October 25, 2025, 3:00 at First Baptist Church of Charleston, 61 Church St. (limited parking at 48 Meeting Street). A visitation time will follow the funeral in the Church fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests prayer.
