C.J. will forever be remembered in my heart. The memories I have from our childhood will always bring a smile to my face. C.J. was especially dear to our family and we are truly blessed to have known him. My prayers are with you all.

I had the pleasure to meet CJ a little more than a year ago thanks to our friend KB. Carl was one of those few people you meet in a lifetime that by simply being themselves could bring joy and laughter to those around him. His smile and enthusiasm for life, music and business was enough to keep a smile on my face for many days after seeing him. He was a welcomed guest in our home and I will truly miss the phone calls that would always begin with him asking me if this was his New-Best-Friend....

Shirley I pray blessings and strength to your family during this time of sorrow. Look to the hills from which cometh your strength,all of your strength comes from the Lord. God Bless you.

To the Hornbuckle family
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you. I couldn't imagine the the pain you are experiencing. I remember C.J. and crystal very well. I clearly remember C.J. coming to church dressed up in his scouts uniform some Sundays, sitting quietly and obediant. May God give you confort in the time of this sorrow. Keep the faith and may God Bless you all.

I have been knowing him ever since he was a little boy and gave him a nickname "lemon squeeze." I will miss seeing him and listening to him hi-side. My prayers are with the family and just keep your head up because he is gone to a better place. May God bless his soul.

On behalf of the Caldwell Family...we want to send our condolences to the Hornbuckle Family. I had the pleasure to meet this young man and listen to one of his demo's. I know he will be missed...especially by his sister whom thought so highly of him. Crystal, all we can say is keep your hand in Gods hand. This heartache is not going to be easy. Keep your family close to you and remember God don't make no mistakes. Carl has done something we all will have too do...go home and be with our Lord....
