Arthur Means Jr.

The first memory of Mr. Means was when I attended Carver High School. My maiden name is Brenda Means, and I have nine sisters. People would ask us if we were related to Mr. Means. We didn't know it then, but he confirmed it with one of my sisters years later. I enjoyed being a member of the Mighty Carver Rams band. He made sure your leg was at a 90-degree angle. I remember him calling me out on the megaphone. He would say, "Means raise that leg up"!

My love and prayers surround the Means family. Janice Bullock, Miami, FL.

I remember Means at games, parades, and competitions. As band directors, we ran across each other frequently. My deepest condolences to the family.

Thank you for giving me my first opportunity of marching in a college band and instilling discipline in me that has helped to shape me into the man I am today. Rest Peacefully Mr. Means. #PMM1X #AEA

Mr. Means you were phenomenal. I have known you since I was little girl. You gave so many of us opportunities and we all will never forget. I will always remember and cherish everything you did for me. Thank you being a father figure to me. I love you Mr. Means. Thank you

Thank you so very much Mr. Means and to the whole Means family for allowing this kid from New Orleans to be a part of your family via the purple marching machine. I´m sorry that I would not be able to make it to the great Prof. Means homegoing celebration nevertheless, my faith is in God and I will see him again

1 of my favorite memories of PROF was fall "05" my freshman year. It was storming outside and he came outta his office over to the bandroom and he said. " ummmmmmmm band we gone get ready to go outside". We all complained about the storm. He then stepped back outside and in a matter of seconds the sky cleared up and the ground dried up. That made all of us think he had a special connection with GOD.

Damon, there was definitely a legacy your dad left on the family. You came from great "stock". His love and memories will live on in your heart. You have my deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Means and Damon you have my deepest sympathy.. Your are my thoughts and prayers . Peace and Blessings, know that God makes no mistakes.
