Mr. Odom was born on September 4, 1944, in Jasper, Texas and passed away peacefully at his home on March 7, 2025.

Carl was a devoted husband, loving father, and grandfather who loved spending time with his family. He loved the outdoors and was always looking for his next “Bee Tree”. Carl was a skilled wood worker and became a master at the art of wood carving. His favorite past times were fishing, watching westerns, and reading western novels. Carl was also a member of the West Monroe Seventh Day Adventists Church. His light hearted nature will surely be missed.

He was preceded in death by his father, Edgar Loyd Odom; mother, Maggie Lee Odom; and brothers, Gerald Odom, Obie Del Odom, Rolland Odom, and Bruce Odom.

Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of fifty-two years, Joyce V. Odom; sons, Tom Odom, Stephen Odom and his wife, Dennie, and Andrew Odom and his wife, Rose; grandchildren, Kirstyn Odom, Jewel Odom, Jacob Odom, Oliver Garvey, and Violet Garvey; sister, Gwen Babb; as well as a host of loved ones and friends.

Pallbearers will be the Ouachita Parish Fire Department Honor Guard.
