Immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in Victory oh death where is thy sting oh grave where is thy thy Victory The Sting of death is sin the strength of sin is the law but thanks be to God which giveth us the
Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ therefore my beloved Brethren be ye steadfast unmovable always abounding in the works of the Lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord and I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven and the first
Earth were passed away and there was no more sea and I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and I heard a great voice Out of Heaven saying behold the Tabernacle of God is with
Men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain
For the former things are passed away and he that sat upon the throne said behold I make all things new and he said unto me right for these words are true and faithful I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end I will give unto him that is a thirst of the
Fountain of the Water of Life freely he that overcometh shall inherit all things I will be his God and he will be my son blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of Sinners nor sth in the seat of the
Scornful but his Delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law do he meditate day and night and he shall be like a tree plant Ed by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his Leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall
Prosper the ungodly are not so but are like the shaft which the wind drives away therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the Judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous for the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly Shall Perish Rejoice ever more pray without

Swilly very proud principal of fairf for Central High School and I stand before you with heartfelt gratitude and admiration to celebrate the life and impact of an extraordinary individual more than my teacher and Coach but my brother and friend he was not just a man of many roles but a beacon of
Inspiration and guidance and an un leaving an unforgettable mark on the lives he touched his presence Among Us embodied the essence of what it means to be a griffin to be Griffin like in every facet of your life much like the mythical creature he possessed strength wisdom and a nurturing spirit that knew
No bounds his dedication to education was unwavering as he often strive to schedule his treatments around school hours tirelessly shaping young minds with a blend of knowledge compassion tough love and an unwavering commitment to Excellence as a teacher his classrooms were not confined to the four walls they were expansive Arenas where
Curiosity Thrive and learning was an adventure I remember the time he had the great idea to have his students email me about what they felt needed to change at Fairfield Central High School and and I called him because my email was bombarded and he was laughed and said my
Bad I meant to tell you that I was going to have my students email you he didn’t just impart computer science or business education standards but instilled a passion for Discovery encouraging his students to spread their wings and soar beyond the perceived limitations he mentored students about life and being
Good humans I remember he called me about my son’s incomplete assignments because yes I was one of his parents too and he said nope don’t you say nothing I got it when I asked my son what was the lesson he learned most from coach Washington and he said men handled their
Business in the realm of sports as a coach he wasn’t just about victories on the scoreboard rather he taught invaluable life’s lessons through teamwork perseverance and sportsmanship now don’t get me wrong we all know he wanted to win and he often stated that he trained killers and to protect the brand
But he did not let winning overshadow his desire to mold great young men his coaching extended far beyond the field it extended into M individuals into resilient and disciplined human beings ready to face the challenges of the world and he showed up for them yet Beyond these roles he was also a brother
A confidant and a Guiding Light he had a relationship with the Lord and he always gave glory to God after every medical appointment he extended his support offering a listening ear Sage advice and an unwavering hand during times of need he made sure I was okay on some of the
Tough days most recently with the tailgate battle if you know you know he said tell me what you want to say and me and Quinton Got You Queen he often threw you in the mix his empathy knew no bounds and his guidance was a source of strength for many shaping their path
Toward success and fulfillment above all he was a friend a pillar of strength and laughter a companion through the highs and the lows and a source of unwavering support we actually met back when he was a member of the coaching staff at Lord Richland old the memories with Coach
Montgomery the horsemen the BR I think that is where I got my tough skin from because them card games after Friday Night Football got serious his friendships were genuine and enduring fostering connections that transcended time and distance so when I became the principal of fearful Central I reached
Out to him as soon as I got opportunity for him to come home he made it clear to me that he wanted to finish his career at fful Central and made sure I was committed to staying he touched hearts with his infectious spirit and genuine care for those around him and he held
Down the third floor if he loved you he showed it and Lord did he love his family if you know him you know about Tina Mom and Dad Quint TR tuga and his mother-in love if he taught you you learned if he mentored coached you you got better better if he
Supported you he showed up if he cooked for you you ate good those were the best turkey wings in my life and he told me Sly those are not on the menu but I got you if he said that he was going to do something consider it done to be Griffin
Like as he was encapsulates a spirit of resilience mentorship camaraderie and unwavering dedication to uplift others he live by these principles leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come he loved his community and we often talked about what we could do with the alumni and love
Never fails but he was not about talking but he was boots on the ground and ready to do the work though he may no longer be with us here physically his teachings his kindness his spirit will forever echoed through the halls of Fairfield Central High School and our memories

Spots we need to be the presence of Carmen Washington right now by standing on our feet and celebrating him with a hand clap of Praise unto God until Cantina FS wrapped in his love come on let’s take it higher come on higher You’re surrounded you’re covered may you still stand while we pray father as I give this prayer I pray that you bind up our wounds you heal the broken hearted and Lord we ask that you give a word for such a Time time as this that allows us to see you in the
Midst of hurt to see you in the midst of pain because this is the day the Lord has made we shall rejoice and be glad in it yes we mourn with those who mourn but we Rejoice with those who Rejoice so change our suffering our mourning and to this joy that I have
That the world didn’t give and the world can’t take away it’s in Jesus name that I ask you to let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight oh Lord my strength and my redeemer open up those eyes and release
Another praise in here as you go to your seats amen for the moment as we know that we have to travel to Orange not Orangeburg but Williamsboro uh I’m recalling how I got here by way of the request of Tina but also one night at the Omega Center of
Kai Square Carmen is barking out orders as we know he does and he’s telling things that he want to be put in place and he said Quinton you you need to do this I need the Masons to do this I need the BR to this and then he says and Bishop
You going to preach my eulogy I said what and so because of that request I honor it I want to read the scripture and then I want to give you a word from the Lord second Timothy the 2 chapter the 3D the 1 through the sth verse second Timothy the 2 chapter the
1st through the 7th verse you there for my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus and the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses commit these to Faithful Men Who will be able to teach others also you therefore must endure
Hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ no one engag and warfare entangles himself in the Affairs of his life that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier and also if anyone competes in athletics he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules the hardworking farmer must be
First to partake of the crops consider what I say and may the Lord give you understanding in all things verse three is our thought you therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ the title of this message is the test we must endure the test we must endure yes
Family I said that this is hard but it’s fair because it’s what Carmen will want and let me tell you man kmen so special and those who know him well especially the fairfare family you know the thing about him is that kmen was able to stand on his own but he loved to
Run with a posi anybody know that’s a 80s and 90s term now let me tell you he’s going to Rally his troops he’s going to always run with a posi and I believe the Fairfield Central family knows it as the third floor posi where he would strategize and
Mobilize and organize everyone to do what’s right and when you know that type of person you know that in order for you to run with a posi the first thing you got to do is test your posi that you need to know who’s around you and this is who Carmen was Carmen
Would test you when you was around him it was nothing for him to argue about his favorite football team because if you wasn’t a fan of his favorite football team he was going to let you know he wanted to know if you like the same food he likes because when it’s
Time to grow up you was going to be all right but this is what I learned about kmen because Proverbs 17- 17 the King James version says a friend loveth at all times and a brother is born for adversity see Carmen knew how to be a
Friend that’s why he was able to run with the posi people who don’t have a posi they’re really not a friend friends forgive and they forbear much in the good times and the bad times that friend will always be there for Proverbs the 18th chapter the 24th verse says a man
That has friends must show himself friendly for there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother as a songwriter said what a friend we have in Jesus all of our sins and Grieves to Bear if DJ worm was up here he would tell you uh what about your
Friends uh friends how many of us have them Carmen was my friend and the quote that I would like to share really tells you what kind of friend he was friendship is a Priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold but its value is far greater than a mountain made of
Gold for gold is cold and lifeless is neither see nor hear in time of trouble it’s powerless to cheer it has no ears to listen no heart to understand it cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand so when you ask God for a gift be thankful he Sins Not diamonds
Not pearls nor riches but the love of your true friends kmen was a true friend friends are important in the word of God because even Abraham was called the friend of God everyone should understand what it is to be a friend but not everyone understands what it is to be a
Soldier every soldier ain’t your friend but every friend should be your soldier I’m going to say it again every soldier ain’t your friend but every friend should be your soldier common was both he was my friend and he was one of my soldiers because we would sing a song
That says we had high aspirations on our mind for Omega scii and the song ended that we would never leave a brother behind kmen never left a brother behind kmen was a friend to the end so let me leave with you what it is to test your
Friends the test that you must endure what will I leave with you to tell you about my friend Carmen because what I can share with you about King is something I’m sure you can relate to but most of all this should help you have a friend in Jesus in second Timothy the 2
Chapter the 3D verse it says You must endure hardship as a good solder of Jesus Christ the first thing you can know about King and the thing you can take with you to become a friend in Jesus because you will have to go through a test that you must endure is
That you must hold on to hope the scripture says You must endure hardship this is the beautiful part of this scripture because I remember in 2003 when kmen became a a man of Omega SciFi he was dress from the top of his head to the soul of his feet in all of
Omega and I said come you can’t wear three pieces of paraphernalia you got to choose one but kman was so excited to be a part of a chapter and a fraternity that he said Bishop I want to give it an identity I want someone to know this
Chapter for something great and I said well Carmen it’s called migma tell me what goes in front of that and Carmen said it needs to be called the mustsee that’s the moment right there because when the Bible says You must endure you must see Jesus in all of this
It’s not a suggestion it’s a command because when my hope is buil on nothing less but Jesus blood and righteousness I can say I can look to the heel from which cometh my help cuz all of my help comes from the Lord can I get a witness
In here that some people will know that your good days will outweigh your bad days all you got to do is hold on to his hope the second thing is that you must hold on to his healing it says You must endure hardship the teachable moment of this Dr capus is that
Hardship is something that we will have to go through kmen had to go through hardship why is that Pastor Bishop because no real Soldier will turn away from hardship every good soldier knows that they got to go through something to be something e every Soldier knows that
Hardship is a part of the process so not only did he have to do what he had to do and endure the hardship but he said he must see it through cuz when you’re up against a trouble meat is squarely face to face lift your chin K and set your feet and
Take a brace this is what kmen did because he held on to his healing every time when he came back to the group of men that he would talk to he would come with so much life so much Vigor that he had came through a battle with cancer
And he had won and I came here to tell you that kmen got the the victory Comm and got the victory because he held on to his healing so the Bible even goes on to say you there you therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier and here’s my last point because
If you hold on to his hope you hold on to his healing it only means you’re holding on to his hand it’s a that I didn’t talk to Regina I didn’t tell her what song to sing but God gave confirmation in the last song she sung precious
Lord take my hand lead me on let me stand the thing we got to hold on to is God’s unchanging hand see in order to be a good soldier you don’t want to be common you want to be extraordinary a soldier in order for him
To be considered good he got to let go of some things he got to give up something that’s why I said you must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ when I was in the hospital with the family there was something I saw that came in a revelation last night
Pastor Jackson as laid there from December 23rd to January 1st his left hand was relaxed but his right hand was clenched left hand was rested but the right hand was clutched the left hand was straight but the hand on his right side was gripped God told me that common was
Telling us the whole time I fought the good fight cuz only time you have your hand in a clinch position is because you know that you got to have a fight then I went deeper into my thoughts I said well Lord what did he fight through he he fought through
Traffic to get to the treat he fought with cancer he fought with medication he fought with doctors but I said what what is the biggest Revelation he said not only does a gripping hand show that you had to deal with a fight he said but gripping hand shows that you got something to
Grab on [Laughter] to I’m getting ready to close because I saw this and I said he was holding on to God’s unchanging hand can y’all help me with this does anybody know you can’t let go because you got your hand in God’s hand can I get a witness in here
Today as long as my hand is in God’s hand everything everything is going to be all right but when I got my hand and God’s hand sometimes he lets us cling to a old rugged cross cuz one day we got to exchange that for a crown must Jesus bear the
Cross alone and all the world go free no there’s a cross for you and there’s a cross for me but the word I love to tell you is there’s no cross no Crown cuz you come and shall wear a crown he’s going to put on his Rob and tell the story how
I made it over can I get some help in here because one day when I was lost Jesus died on the cross and I know it was the blood that saved me but I got to tell you that Jesus went to Calvary to save a rich
Like you and me that’s love and common was love because when you look at what we’re going through I came here to tell somebody weeping may endure for a night but joy joy joy joy will come in the morning time all I can tell you is com it’s not a
Goodbye goodbye it’s not I I I won’t see you it’s just I’ll see you later brother sleep on cing well done my brother I see you in the morning you did well my brother you did good all is well you’re going from labor to refreshment and I
Came here to tell somebody ain’t it all right it’s going to be all right because kmen had his hand in God’s hand so bro I love you well Done well done brother you fought the good fight you kept the Faith I miss you at every tailgate I miss you on every call but I know you won’t be far Away it’s all right now kmen it’s all Right [Applause] No M Where I’m going where I’m going soon oh oh anybody ask You where I’m Going where I’m going [Applause] soon oh I’m going up y I’m going up y I’m going up y to be with my Lord oh I’m going the Y I’m going up y I’m going up y to be with my Lord if you want to Know where I’m going where I’m Going soon oh anybody ask you where I’m going where I’m going soon oh I’m going up Y I’m going up y I’m going up y to be with my Lord oh going up y I want to see Jesus I want to see Jesus face to face oh I’m going upy that going up y I want to see Jesus PR to tell him for me I’m going up
