Carl's Life Story

1969-2017

It is often said "why the good go so soon", why?

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Godly ones. ~Psalm 116:15

If Carl could explain that thought to his dear love ones who he knows will cherish his short 48 years on earth, and that brim smile. He would say Lillie Mae, haven't I had enough of those buttermilk biscuits and syrup and Sport we didn't know that last shave would be the last one. But don't sweat it because my nephew "Vic" will continue my legacy. I love you all dearly. Carl my oldest son, when God calls we have to answer. Therefore, I expect you to look after your brothers in love. Mike, keep throwing that ball son. I have always been your #1 fan and I will continue rooting for you but, from the best seat in the house with the best coach. C.J. my baby boy, grow to be a good man. Keep God first and always take care of your mama. Shai the daughter I never had, you made my life complete. I know you will probably miss me the most, but when you share our times together with others they are going to say ummmm Shai put it on a "T-shirt." Clyde dry your face, I couldn't think of a better person to father my sons in my absence. Thanks in advance and I will always be with you in spirit. I thought of Scooby but, I wouldn't be able to focus in heaven knowing my boys are competing in with reel and rods and baits. Lisa, thanks for never giving up on me, continue being the glue to our 300 N.W. 11th Street lot #3 family and the "SO MANY SO CLOSE" clan. My trailor park and Marati Fleet Families "309" you all are the best. But, my work and presence on earth is done. You've all touch my life in a way no other has. All the memories we've created are now apart of who I am. There's a time for everything….. a time to be born,; a time to die and a time to speak; MY FATHER HAS SPOKEN.
