Anthony "T Carp" Carpino

Anthony Dean "T Carp " Carpino, 60, of Lodi, passed away on December 18, 2024. Born in Long Branch, he was a lifelong resident of Lodi. Before retiring, Tony was a maintenance worker for the Lodi Housing Authority. He was a larger-than-life, fun-loving guy. He admired and mimicked the "Incredible Hulk" and had an unshakable adoration of eagles- the strongest and bravest of all birds. Tony loved softball and had his own team, T Carp's Bad Boys. He loved the Dallas Cowboys, Oakland A's, and Queen, yet he was best known for his huge heart for God's creatures. He had a passion to help when others just didn't know how. Tony was an organ donor. Tony was preceded in death by his wife, Stacy Arbutina, whom he adored. He is the beloved son of Linda "Mah" (nee Becker) Carpino, loving brother of Carlyn "Cookie" Carpino of Lodi, Tracey Caso and her husband Julius of Oakland, and Christopher Carpino and Elizabeth Rodriguez "Lizzy" of Lodi. Uncle Tony was cherished by Julius, Mickey (McKayla), and Michael Caso of Oakland, and will always have a special place in the hearts of Joanna Przedworska and children.
Dear Tony,
We've never seen any person endure so much and yet still try so hard to please those he loved. You lived vibrantly, suffered vibrantly for more than a decade, and left us vibrantly.
Thank you.
Love like no other, Your Family and Friends
