Carl was an amazing father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He loved spending time with his family and he would do anything for them. Carl enjoyed fishing, riding boats, camping, and really anything outdoors. His children and family have so many fond memories of their time spent with Carl, hearing his stories, his invaluable advice and knowledge, and just enjoying the presence of such a phenomenal, loving man.Carl also enjoyed going to the casinos, especially in Las Vegas, and he attended Truvine Baptist Church, where he nurtured his strong faith and love of God.
