Almost there...up the hill, second house on the right, lucky number 13. Lucky...The luckiest family in this universe. A simple brick house with a red door...but behind that red door and those simple brick walls lies a story, and a bond so special no one could ever take it away. The home where a strong, hard working, brilliant man started his life with his beautiful loving, caring, and passionate wife Kathy Carpenter. The home where they brought their three beautiful children; Christopher, Morgan, and Keegan into their amazing world together. 13 Acer Heights Road...the place where the fairytale story of Lloyd Carpenter will always lie.
Lloyd believed in teaching his family success and hard work, and he did exactly that. He accomplished a dream that every man has; he owned his own business, C&P Services, allowing him to successfully provide for the family he created. He believed in teaching his family competition, being the best they could be, and to go after their dreams. Again, he did exactly that. He was Morgan and Keegan’s number one fan at every sporting event they were involved in. He was their coach whenever they needed advice, and most importantly, he gave them the strength, courage, support, and knowledge to get them to where they are today. He raised two children with his wife that will live everyday to the fullest, take chances, accomplish dreams no matter how out of reach they seem, and who will take the many life lessons taught to them and apply them to life....All thanks to him....their father, Lloyd Carpenter.
Almost there...up the dirt road, .... the farm house on the hill ... Simple farm house, with a simple door, but behind that simple door...inside that simple farm house, lies a story. The story of where Lloyd Carpenter came from. Son of two amazing, loving parents Nona and Paul Carpenter. Brother of two sisters and a brother, Cheryl, Eric, and Denise. A place where his father taught him the lessons of hard work, pride, and the importance of family sticking together... Where a mom taught him the importance of love and family values.
Finally he’s there...up the path to peace..into the arms of the angels, lucky to be reunited with his son. Lloyd Carpenter walked into heaven and joined his first son Christopher on the 20th day of June, 2012. This will begin a whole new journey. Its time for him to continue to teach Christopher like he taught Morgan and Keegan. Time for him to share stories with him, about what an amazing life on earth he had....how many people loved him...and how many lives were blessed to have him a part of it. Time for him to make new memories just as wonderful with the ones he shared with all of us here on earth, especially the memories made with myself, my brother, and my mother.
