Carson was loved by so many. He was a quiet old soul who loved to live life simple. His passion was old cars and reading. He enjoyed riding four wheelers and his dune buggie. He found joy spending time with his Papaw at the beach. He loved telling stories of his little brother Jay's antics, with a huge smile on his face. He was wise beyond his years. If you knew Carson you loved Carson. He loved his family and was always concerned about the well-being of others. You never saw him much without his favorite hat and you were lucky if you caught him in a photo. Family and friends please continue to pass his legacy on by loving and living well and stopping to enjoy the simple things in life.
Pallbearers will be Randy Hill, Donnie Hodge, Roland Tidmore, Rodney Hodge, Donnie Robertson, Grady Grimes and Randall Ray.
Honorary pallbearers are Jay Grimes, Rick Snow, and students and faculty of Sipsey Valley School.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to "Carson Sanford's Memorial Fund" at Wells Fargo. His parents desire to use all donations to help assist other young adults through local youth groups in the Sipsey Valley community and surrounding areas.
