Karl Raymond Ladnier

He is preceded in death by his wife Karen Ladnier, his mother and father Gunda and Nolan Ladnier, and his sister Trudy Bell. He is survived by his four children: Chasity Hall (Ricky), Melissa Collier (Tracy), A.J. Ladnier (Greer), Hilary Ladnier (Jacob Wells); his seven loving grandchildren: Justin Luke Hall, Tyler Raymond Hall, Austin Shane Collier, Ethan Scott Collier, Evan Claire Ladnier, Ari Elisabeth Ladnier, and Ellis Kate Ladnier; and his devoted companion Donna Odom.

Karl’s greatest joys were spending time on the water fishing, surrounding himself with friends, family, and good times, and taking care of his chickens, cows, and ducks. Karl had a generous heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand. A retired fireman for Mobile’s Central Fire Station and a retired Chief Petty Officer for the Navy, Karl’s love of home and community was reflected in his participation in the American Legion and Veterans Affairs where he helped honor others who have served our Country.
