Carl attended the schools of Tucker County, had worked in construction and was head of maintenance for Holland Enterprises for almost 40 years. He was a member of the Believers Fellowship at Montrose. He enjoyed woodworking and loved making wooden bowls. He built toy boxes for his grandchildren. Carl loved being “PapPaw” to his precious grandchildren. He loved spending time with all his family.

He was a quiet, faithful man who spoke with his actions always showing up, always helping and always loving with his whole heart. Whether in his woodshop, at church, or surrounded by his children and grandchildren, he lived a life of steady presence and unwavering devotion. He never missed a birthday, a special event, or a chance to be there for someone in need. He loved deeply, especially his beloved wife, whom he now rejoins after 16 years apart. There are no words that can truly capture the depth of his love or the strength of his character but to know him was to feel it. He was simply the best.

The family will receive friends at the Lohr & Barb Funeral Home of Elkins from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., Monday, July 7, 2025.
