I was so sorry to learn that Carlton had passed away. What a wonderful man, filled with the Spirit of God, and filled with laughter that just bubbled over. We were students together at Duke Div, and served together as Chaplain interns at Duke Medial Center. He was my brother in Christ and a dear friend. Rest in Peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about the list of Carlton. I am just finding out about it and my heart is heavy.
Carlton was my clinical supervisior during my last year of graduate school in 2014-15. He was not only my supervisor but he also became my friend. He will truly be missed

Deepest Sympathy to the family. I only knew him through my pastor.. Rev. Frenchye Magee of Walden Chapel United Methodist Church, Goodman, Mississippi. We share her loss of her FRIEND. From her words of him, he had to be an outstanding person full of love and joy of the Spirit. Blessings be unto each one of you. May his Spirit fly with the Angels.

Deepest condolences to Carlton's family. We were classmates at Hampton Institute, and I remember him as a great and kind person. His compassion blossomed even further since that time.

I only knew him since 2012 when I bought the house next door. He was the sweetest and most kind hearted man that I have ever met! Always up for good conversation and friendly neighbor advice. He will be missed for sure. Wonderful service as well.

Carlton and I were childhood friends. He was always very serious as a child, but also had a funny sense of humor. I will always remember those precious childhood memories. I know he will be deeply missed by the family and loved ones. My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time. May God bless and keep you.
