Praying and sending sympathy to Carlton’s family. I knew you for only three years but I’m so glad you had time to celebrate my Birthday as my brother in Christ. I knew you had a tough fight but I pray you’re now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus Christ🙏🏽💝
MY SINCERE CONDOLENCE. MAY YOUR HEARTS BE FILLED WITH WONDERFUL MEMORIES OF THE TIMEYOU SPENT TOGETHER WITH CALTON YOU REFECT ON A LIFE WELL KNOWN
Carlton was my dear friend of nearly 20 years! We met at Chase Bank (formally known as Texas Commerce Bank). We instantly hit it off and later In our careers we had the pleasure of working on the same team. Needless to say, we didn’t get much work done talking about about families, our spiritual walk, and current events in the world. As the years past, it could be weeks, months even years before we would speak again and we would pick up wherever we left off. I miss our time we spent laughing on the days I took you to chemo. I thank God that you choose me to spend that time with. Rest Easy My Friend.
Carlton, you were my next door neighbor, my friend, my little brother and sometimes my SAGE. I watched as you turned each day into a Life Project. You loved beautiful things and the evidence was in how you supervised the care of the landscape, how you transformed the interior spaces of your home, how your dressed, and how you selected exquisite menu items. The secret of your talents were always inspired by your love for your Mother. When we talked outside or over the fence in the evenings, your face lite up as you explained how you were making choices to make life better for your Mother. Carlton, after taking a recent tour of all the renovations and upgrades to the décor, please know you did an outstanding job! There is now light in places which were once dark, there is hot and clean water in replaced pipes and plumbing, there is fresh and clean air with new filters and fragrances, there are cushions on new sofas and chairs, there are art objects and photos on walls and shelves, and there is a refreshing new plant in the cloisonné vase on the front porch! Most importantly, there is a woman(your Mom) who sits in a chair in the center of the house and smiles as she is surrounded in the comfort and love and care which was made possible by you, her son. I hope God reads this tribute I am writing and puts a bright halo above your head for all eternity. You will make a beautiful and deserving Angel. May you rest in Peace Carlton, you will be missed.

My name is Yolanda Sellers. I have been knowing Carlton for a little over 2 yrs. I met him at the Center where he was one of our favorite patient. I have always admired Carlton, because he was a strong man. Even tho he was fighting the hardest battle ever, he always managed to make sure everyone around him, especially his Mom was ok. He was a great man, son and a friend. I will truly miss him always.
