Leon Carpenter

Mr. Carpenter, belovedly cherished as “Punkin Man”, passed at his residence in Childersburg, AL while still living intentionally, close to God and nature. He was born in the mountains of Sycamore, AL to Woodford and Omie Carpenter as the third of seven children. He willingly enlisted into the United States Army and proudly served in the Vietnam War.

Mr. Carpenter had a passion for people and produce, known around our local communities, serving individuals and retailers in his little red truck. He had many favorite pastimes and most of them were surrounded by fishing, cooking over fires, and time spent outdoors. His legacies will continue on through his family as they honor those gone before them.

He is preceded in death by his parents Woodford and Omie Carpenter, three of his brothers, Eugene Carpenter, Adrian Carpenter and Braxton Carpenter, beloved cousins and family, who he is uniting in heaven with as we gather today.

He is survived by his loved ones, Son Scott Carpenter and Deborah, daughter Tracey Thomaston and Brian, their mother Mary Carpenter. Jerry Carpenter and Maxine, Peggy Leftwich and Joe, Karen Henson, Vickie Carpenter, Matt Carpenter and Caitlin, Adam Carpenter and Shelby, Kelsey Osbourn and Dylan, Alex Osbourn and Lara, Brandon Thomaston; Madelyn and Katelyn Thomaston; Dallis, Adah, Denver and Sage Carpenter; Wyatt, Kinsley and Mia Carpenter; Rylan, Abel and Kohen Osbourn, many nieces and nephews who are very close to him, and close friends Nate Brewer and life long friend Johnny Harris.
