Memorials may be made to Orangeburg Lutheran Church, 610 Ellis Ave, Orangeburg, S.C. or Grove Park Hospice, 1324 Grove Park NE, Orangeburg, S.C. Due to Covid 19, please wear a mask.

He was the son of Mary Elizabeth Heggie Adden and John Augustus Adden, Sr. He was born in Kinston, N.C on March 26, 1918, later moving to Orangeburg, S.C. when he was four years old with his mother and sister after his father's death.

He attended Orangeburg City Schools and attended Clemson College. He was a devout Christian, and was a long and faithful servant to Orangeburg Lutheran Church serving on the church council for many years. He was an active member for over 90 years. He also belonged to the Elks Club and The American Legion and assisted the Boy Scouts of Troop 45.

He was top salesman for Superior Motors for over 30 years. During World War II, he served with the Second Division Marine Corp in the South Pacific Islands of Tarawa, the Gilbert Islands and the Mariana Island and ultimately, Tinian. He was from the Greatest Generation to serve... "Once a Marine, always a Marine" as they say!!

He is predeceased by his wife, Mary, with whom he was married for almost 70 years and survived by four children: Lynda Adden Marchant(Dan) of Charleston, S.C., John Augustus Adden, III of Savannah, Ga., David Thomas Adden (Rubianne) of St. Matthews, S.C., Mary Dalton Adden of Lexington, SC.

During the past two years, he has been a resident of The Victory House in Walterboro, S.C. We would like to thank the Administration and staff for all the concern they gave to us as a family. We especially want to thank the nurses and CNAs on Williams unit for the love and care for our Dad.

In addition, we thank the wonderful caregivers in Orangeburg who helped him through the years: Annette Bryant, Betty Jo Hamilton, Pearl Hall, Stacey Moultrie, Mary Jamison, Virginia Blackshear, Julia Reese . © 2010-20 Dukes-Harley Funeral Home and Crematory.
