Monty was one of the popular kids in high school who treated everyone the same, kindly. I'll always remember his honest eyes, and it's not surprising that he fought valiantly to the end. My sympathy to the family.

Probably one of the nicest people I remember from High School; he always had time to talk to "the little guy" Monty was several years older; I was the Class of '69). I met him through my sister and it seems Monty, Webb, Robison and Johnson all became my big brothers. As someone previously stated 'A real class act' as were all the Carmonas.I know he is already missed.... my best to the entire family in a hard time like this...

Monty was such a special person. I have such wonderful memories of grade school at Magnolia thru Shasta High with him. I moved away from Redding so I did not have much contact with Monty as an adult but did see him at the reunions and it was if I had never left. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

Thanks Mickey for letting me know. I am so sorry about Monty. I have such wonderful memories of snowball fights, forts, kick-the-can, and hide-and-go-seek on the "Hill". Monty was always nice to me even though I was just a "little girl" in his opinion. (He was all of two years older than me.)

I am sure God welcomed Monty home with a big smile and open arms.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Gid bless you.
