Carl was a lifelong resident of Camden County, Missouri. He was a truck driver all of his working life. He had been employed with High Brothers Lumber Company for eighteen years and was currently employed with Camden County Road and Bridge. Carl was saved when he was fifteen years old while sitting in his grandma’s doorway while a prayer meeting was being held. He was a faithful member of Myetta Missionary Baptist Church. He was an Ordained Minister and his church and church family were both very important to him.
In his spare time Carl loved horses and spending time with the Saddle Club. He would sit on his deck and watch the wildlife as they would put on shows for him. The thing Carl loved most though was time spent with his wife, kids and grandkids. He was a devoted husband, dad and papa. Carl had a dream to go see the mountains in Colorado. That dream came true in April as they went to Estes Park, Colorado and he was able to see Gods handy work in all of its glory. He touched more lives than we will ever know as he was a loving husband, dad, papa, son, brother and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and his accomplishments and will treasure the memories he created for his family and friends.
