So sorry for the tragic loss of your Carlton.
Words cannot begin to express the sadness you must be feeling. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. When it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. But please know that your Heavenly Father understands your pain. He, too, felt pain when his only begotten son died. And just like he raised his son, Jesus Christ, to life, he promised to do the same for our dead loved ones. Hosea 13:14 says, "From the power of the Grave I will redeem them;From death I will recover them. Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave? "
I hope that you find measure of comfort in God's promise to end all suffering and death soon and forever as the Bible promises at Revelation 21:4 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:"Look! the tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them,and they will be his people .And God himself will be with them.And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more , neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
Please see jw.org for more comfort from the Bible.

Carl Edward, Michelle and kids, I am so saddened to lose my cousin at such a young age. The funeral and procession were a wonderful testament to how many lives Heath touched. I'm so very proud of the life of service he lived. Even though I had not seen him in a long while I will remember that smirk and good humor he always seemed to have. He will be missed. I will pray for all of you during this trying time and just want you to know we love you all. God bless.

So very sorry for your loss, please know that he will be there in heaven waiting for you to arrive. If there is anything you or your family needs please don't hesitate. Heath will be missed by all that came in touch with his infectious smile and laugh. Him listening to Garth Brooks and throwing smoke bombs out the truck windows.Nothing but lights and sirens for this man.
