Monty graduated from Brookville High School in Lynchburg in 1974. He continued his education at Ferrum College, followed by Florida Institute of Technology where he received his degree in underwater technology. Upon graduation, Monty lived in Louisiana and worked as a commercial diver in the Gulf of Mexico for many years. In 1985 he moved to Richmond, Va. where he met his wife Mary and began a long and successful career in sales of building materials.
Monty loved his home in Glen Allen because he had space to create. He designed and built a beautiful relaxing pond with a trickling waterfall; he hand-laid a large stone patio with walkways; he also built a beautiful screened porch, complete with a TV to watch his beloved Hokies play football if he couldn’t be at Lane Stadium with his family or special football friends, Jeff, Alfred, and Chris, to mention a few.
Monty had many interests including hunting, gardening, cooking, and grilling year-round. He would relax at night watching NCIS or a program about Alaska.
He was, above all else, a devoted husband, father, son and brother.
The family would like to thank everyone at Gentiva Hospice and Care Advantage who provided Monty and his family the love, comfort, and tireless attention we needed during this difficult, but very special time in our lives.
The family will receive friends at Timberlake United Methodist Church, 21649 Timberlake Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502, on Thursday, June 11, 2015 from 5 to 7 PM. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, June 12, 2014 at 11:00 am in Timberlake United Methodist Church, with the Rev. Lynne Alley-Grant officiating.
