Carl Lynn Averitt

Carl was born on April 24, 1949 and left us on March 26, 2021. He was a loving husband, a devoted daddy, son, brother, son-in-law, and papaw. He served his country in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as CMSgt. Carl also retired from Morris and Dickson and was recently working as a delivery driver for Squires Tuxedos. Carl loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and gardening; and could build a mean fire. More than any of these, though, Carl loved his family. Especially those grandkids!

Carl was preceded in death by his father, Alvin Lee Averitt; brother, Larry Averitt; and his former wife and mother of his children, Dena Ruth Wallace Averitt. Left to cherish his memory is his wife of five years, Sherri Hernandez Averitt; mother, Marcella Flores Averitt; son, Heath Averitt and wife Michelle; daughters, Misty Guin and husband Kevin, and Meshell Lindsey; sister, Fran Berly and husband Harry; brother, James Averitt and wife Marilyn; grandchildren, Britton, Hayden, Ryker, and Brayden Averitt, Harlee and Audri Flores, Tyler Fazenbaker and wife Leilani, Tristan and Jamison Guin, Jeremy and Bre’Anna Lindsey; great-grandchildren, Lily Lorich, Jaxon and Brantley Guin, and one on the way; mother-in-law, Susan Hernandez; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
