Me and my girlfriend were watching Fear Factor and what Carlyle said inspired me to look him up. He said Ive done a little bit of everything because I dont want to just work a miserable job before I die. Truly a good way of living life. RIP. Condolences to his family and friends.

Carlyle - Memories of our close friendship at Lincoln Middle and Dudley High Schools are fond and dear to the heart. To the family members that are mourning the loss, please know that my prayers and deepest sympathy are with you. The healing process is a journey, and I've found that time and God's unfathomable love are what gets you through. To Carlyle's cousins Jamie and Shemeika: You have a friend praying for you from miles away.
