Daddy,
I cannot believe your gone, I miss you terribly and love you so very much. You were an amazing dad and a hard worker. I love you so much, I cannot say goodbye.
RIP Curt!
You were a great brother-in-law and will definitely be missed 🙏😢
I’m so sorry to learn of your loss. Curt was my last link to my childhood. I miss him and brother Ben. Naomi and Arthur were the older generation of the Carner line. Dad was such a gypsy and the old maid aunts didn’t have the same stability as the Wichita Falls family.
Our deepest condolences to Carolyn and Family. We enjoyed many precious times with Curt and Carolyn. We love you.
I’ll never forget the times spent boating and camping with you as a child.you were always a strong man with a gentle sole. Thank for all the memories. I love you and will truly miss you.
Curt— you were so loving and kind— and funny! You will be missed. 😘
I have so many wonderful and priceless memories of my Uncle Curt, including him introducing me to deer hunting. He will be greatly missed and I loved him very much.
Curt you will be so missed! It was such a pleasure knowing you. You always made me feel so welcome right down to letting me park the KW in the driveway.
Our sympathy is with each of those that knew and loved him.
You will be truly missed Uncle Curt!! So many great childhood memories!! I even got to experience a Hurricane with you! Fun road trips! Thank you for all the memories and laughs!! RIP Uncle Curt I LOVE YOU!!
Curt, thanks for being a friend. We have great memories of boating and camping with you and Carolyn when the kids were little. Precious. We’re right behind you. Rest in peace.
You will be truly missed Uncle Curt! Thank you for all the wonderful memories! I even got to experience a hurricane with you. I will always remember and cherish our Florida trip and going to Disney World, and going to the beach for the first time. And all the great memories of coming to your house in Garland, Rockwall and Gainesville thank you for all the wonderful great memories. RIP Uncle Curt I LOVE YOU
Loyal friend, great buddy, contentious worker. We will meet again on the other side and have another great breakfast ole buddy. Thanks
Karen and I cannot find adequate words to express our condolences to the family for their loss. Curt was a steadfast co-worker and friend who knew no boundaries for helping anyone. Peace brother.
Curt,
It was truly a blessing being your and Carolyn’s neighbor. We enjoyed visiting and chatting and having you over for the shrimp boils. You will truly be missed and we know you are in heaven watching down. You are a sweet and caring soul and a blessing to this world. We love you and Carolyn very much. Our love goes out to both of you.
Love Jeremy and Daniela
Sally and I offer our condolences to Curt’s family and to his many, many Friends. We came to know Curt & Caroline through our electrical engineering consulting work at GP&L. Curt worked on just about every engineering project that we did at GP&L from 1990 until 2003. He did excellent work, he could always be depended upon, and he was always a pleasure to work with. Sally & I became close friends of Curt & Caroline and we valued our friendship with them very much.
Rest in peace DEAR FRIEND.
Curt was great friend as co-worker. He will be missed by those who knew and worked with him.
I first met Curt in 1998 through Maury Blalock when I worked for Garland Power and Light as a contractor. Curt was definitely one of a kind. Curt would call me every Christmas and wish me and my family a merry Christmas and prosperous New Year. Condolences to his family and his many friends
