Christopher Jamal Antwain Wideman

Christopher Jamal Antwain Wideman, better known by family and friends as “Chris,” passed away peacefully on December 24, 2022 at his home on highway 378 in McCormick, SC.

Chris was born on September 13, 1975 in Greenwood, SC to the late Melvin Olivia Wideman and James Bryant.  He was a 1995 graduate of McCormick High School.

At an early age, Chris joined Bethlehem Church of God Holiness in McCormick where Bishop James C. Taylor, Sr. served as Pastor. 

After high school, Chris began working for Cannady Builders and did sub-contracting work throughout his adulthood until his health began to decline.

Chris was a kindhearted, meek, and humble person who kept to himself.  He was a very honest person as well.  His favorite line was, “You don’t like the truth!”  He was a very helping person and was always willing to lend a hand to assist others who were in need. 

Chris was born the baby of seven children, and was proceeded in death by both of his parents, two children- Malik Padgett and Krisyah Wideman, and brother, James Wideman.  He leaves to cherish his fond memories: his devoted companion, Laquainda Mims; children, Qusondra, Carlito and Christopher Wideman of the home; Crisseda Wideman and Kemarion Quarles of Greenwood, SC.  The fond memories of our baby brother will always linger in our hearts; his maternal sisters, Helen Wideman of the home, Ethel Cannady (Willie) Cannady both of McCormick, SC and Shelia Patterson of Greenwood, SC; two brothers, John C. Wideman of McCormick, SC and Robert F. Wideman (Beverly) of Columbia SC.
