To the most amazing guy in the world (my baby, my carly bug) I am so glad I found you. OK It wasn’t exactly the greatest ending to our first night (but i think you understood, in the end) You are the most wonderful, kind, sweet, amazing, gorgeous fiancé a girl could ever wish for (I say are because you will always be with me in my heart, forever and always). You would sing me to sleep, correct my spelling lol, “Meep Meep” my wittle button nose, have to watch my feeble cooking attempts... Our 1st vacation in Venice was amazing and it made me fall in love with you even more than I already was. I never felt like I was 4000 miles away from you as the 30+ hours a week we would just talk about the world and what our plans were going to be. Joke about Sammy Chloe Limey Crumpet and when we had Niria. The night you proposed (Valentines day+1 due to the stupid Atlanta airport) was so incredible. I’m glad you didn’t do it after I had spilt water all over myself in the restaurant and then we drove up the mountain to a very windy tower, the scenery was stunning but what made it what it was ...was being there to share it with you!! (even with a freezing ass!) You certainly widened my pallet..got me trying steak (including country fried), pork chop, Alligator and duck!! Even though I’m a vegetarian!! lol. You got someone who is anti guns to hold one and do a full safety brief and check. I’ve never trusted anyone like I’ve trusted you, never been so carefree and just high with natural happiness... but you knew all this, because I told you ever day of our lives, we both knew... My love and respect for you in last week I thought was impossible to increase, but it has. You were so so humble and you didn’t really care about what others thought, it was about how YOU felt. Your achievements are a credit to your country and others, and the world was a much safer place because of you. This world feels so empty without you but being loved by you has made me a 10xs a better person, and i think you felt that way too and for that my baby, I thank you with every last bit of my heart I’ll make sure Your family, Sammy and Chloe are fine, Crumpet says meow I think about you contently, I’ll never forget you, you are my blue sky, my sunny day and my world!!!

I am Carl's sister and I cannot express enough gratitude for all of your support and love. He was not only an amazing big brother, but a best friend to me. I miss him every single second of every day. He was incredibly talented, intelligent and hilarious. Everyone, thank you for all you've done during this time. My entire family is beyond appreciative.

I share in your grief and pray for your family during this difficult time. Although I only met Carl one time at the office with Meg, I can see what a wonderful and magnificient spirit he was and continues to be in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

While I did not personally know Carl, I know his Mother. She is my friend and I care about her and the struggle she is experiencing and will continue for a long time. I want Meg to know I am here for her and I care about what you are going through. I will be here to take any part of this journey with you by your side, behind you to push you along or in front to lead the way for you. You are my dear friend and I am so sorry for your loss.

I went to high school with Carl and spoke to him usually every week or every other week. He always made me laugh and brought a smile to my face. He was a great friend to me and I'll never forget him. He was always harassing me about his snakes which i was totally grossed out by and he loved to send me pictures of the nasty things just to aggravate me. lol I'll forever miss his brotherly way of joking around with me and hearing his laugh as he laughed about my crazy life. I'll miss you Carl!!!

Carl, almost all my high school memories include you in them. It's hard to believe I'll never be able to hang out with a guy whom I've been through so much with again. You have a bunch of people here to remember you and you'd be happy to see how many people cared for you. These past few days have been very surreal. You're a Fla. legend dude, everyone who's met you certainly won't forget you. I miss you man, long live Trauma and High Rollers Forever. Peace brother.
