Carl "Carkull" Fox Jr. Obituary

In remembrance of Carl "Carkull" Roydale Fox Jr. born on April 15, 1991 to Carl and Kim (Hayworth) Fox. As the only son, he held a special place in his parents' hearts, his dad's junior and his mom's baby boy. Carl found joy and passion in football, basketball, and MMA fighting, showcasing his vibrant spirit and love for competition. He was a devoted fan of the Miami Dolphins and University of Michigan football.

More than his hobbies, he is remembered for his boundless kindness and unwavering desire to help others. His heart was open to everyone, and he always sought to make a positive impact on those around him. As a brother to Brittany (John) Pinkster and Ashley Fox, he created bonds of love and support that will forever be cherished.

His greatest pride and joy came from being an uncle to Chance, Matthew, and Colin. From the young age of 17, he embraced his role as an uncle, even helping to raise his eldest nephew, Chance. His love, guidance, and playful spirit enriched their lives, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.

To Carl's incredible friends, the Fox family wants to express their deepest gratitude for keeping his memory alive. Your stories, laughter, and support have been a comforting presence in our lives, over the past decade. Knowing that you continue to remember him and share your memories means the world to us.

In loving memory of my brother, Carl R. Fox Jr., who left us ten years ago. Some days seem endless without him, yet the years seem to slip away so quickly. It's a reminder of how fleeting time can be and how much I cherish the memories we did create together. Carl was one of the kindest souls I ever knew - the perfect combination of both strong and sweet. My brother always saw so much in me, and I often wish I could see myself through his eyes. Even after all these years it's his loyal belief in me that gives me strength and confidence, and I will forever be grateful for that.

But I still miss him, and I always will.

Love your baby sister, Ashley Jane.
