Charles “Chip” Quinton Kilmon, 55, of Mathews, Virginia, passed away on Monday, February 5, 2024. He was a member of the Patriot Guard and Faith Baptist Church, and proudly served in the Reserve as a Navy Corpsman. This led to a career in biomedical and information systems.

Charles was devoted to his family and friends, always willing to help where needed. He was a published poet and best expressed himself through poetry. He enjoyed working with his hands, whether on machinery or sewing purses and wallets, as well as cooking and baking.
