Dennis Scott Carleton, 65, of the home in Kansas City, KS, executed his final “slingshot” maneuver early Saturday morning, August 24th, 2019 and cross the Finish Line collecting his final checkered flag to be with his Lord and Savior.
He is survived by his wife, Pamela R. Davis-Carleton of 41 years, Christopher Scott Carleton and Dale Elaine Carleton, grandson Jonathan and granddaughters Maggie and Molly of Gardner, KS and William Kenneth David Carleton and Becky Burton Carleton, granddaughter Katherine “Kat” Carleton of Overland Park, KS, Brothers Wes Carleton, Russell and wife Elaine Carleton of south eastern Kansas, with many extended family members and cousins.
During his career he was known as The Pizza Man and managed several Pizza Inns in Topeka and Kansas City. He also managed and supervised some Little Caesars in the K.C. Metro area. Upon retiring, he did elder care in the home in Kansas City, KS.
He graduated from El Dorado High School in 1972 and was an Alumni of Emporia State University where he studied Music Education.
His greatest love was home and family and playing and singing music with his friends. He was also the self appointed Commissioner of a NASCAR Fantasy League which he enjoyed keeping track of during the racing season, just for fun for 25 years. This is the only season that his season will end with a DNF. Sorry race fans.
