Donald, or as most called him "Junior", spent the majority of his life as a truck driver, meeting the demands of the road with steady resolve and a work ethic that spoke for itself.
Junior was a member of Abundant Life Church and was baptized this year, a step that reflected the seriousness he had in his faith.
Above everything, his son was his world. Junior made it a priority to watch his son play football and loved to spend outdoors with him, especially to go fishing. Those who knew him will remember a man who could be ornery and stubborn, yet whose loyalty ran deep and whose care for his family was unmistakable.
He is survived by his son Donald "Donnie" Carl III, his sisters; LeQuetta Kennedy, Donna Griggs, and Valerie Carl, as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents Junior is preceded in death by his daughter April Carl and his sister Dawn Carl.
A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date.
