Carl was born on September 30, 1953 in Montgomery, AL to Carl and Miriam Head. After
receiving a degree in music education from Troy State University, he came back to Montgomery
where he met his wife, Gail Ingle Head. Shortly after getting married in 1978, they moved to
Fort Worth, TX where Carl attended The Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Carl
served many churches throughout his ministry as a worship pastor and spent his last 21 years of
ministry at Lakeview Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL.
Along with pastoral music ministry, Carl worked as a general contractor for nearly 40 years. Most of his career was spent managing Head Construction, with his final year spent as a builder with Doug Hollyhand Realty, Inc.
Carl was known for his friendliness; he never met a stranger. Even while in the hospital,
he was selflessly interested in the spiritual well-being of his caretakers. Carl also had a generous
heart. Whether it was helping one of his children or visiting a church member, Carl poured out his
life for others. He adored his family. Known as “Pop” by his children and grandchildren, Carl
loved nothing more than his family being together.
Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Miriam Head. He is survived by his
wife, Gail; his three children, Emily (Scott), Trey (Jessica), and Brian; his sister, Cindy (Neil), and
his two brothers, Tommy (Terri) and Tim (Jenn); and his six grandchildren, whom he loved very
much. “Pop” also had a special love for his grandog, Pippa.
The funeral will be Friday, February 26, 2021 at 11:00am, with visitation beforehand at 9:30am. Both
will be held at Eastmont Baptist Church. Burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.
