In Loving Memory of our beloved Carl

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Carl Buchanan Jr. Carl passed away on Monday, February 5th at the age of 36 years of age.

Carl was an incredibly family-oriented kind person, known for his compassion, strong laughter, and profound ability to make others feel valued and appreciated. Carl touched the lives of many with his beautiful spirit and left an unforgettable mark on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. A beacon of strength, facing life’s challenges with grace and dignity. His optimism inspired friends and family alike, leaving a legacy of perseverance. Whether offering a comforting word, a helping hand, or a listening ear, he had a unique ability to provide solace and support to those in need.

A devoted son, inspiring brother, and caring friend, Carl will be remembered for his sense of humor, generosity, wisdom, and his love for his favorite Chicago Sports teams. (The Bears, Bulls, and Sox) He faced life’s challenges with strength and resilience and found joy in being the light around the people he loved.

Carl Buchanan is survived by his mother, Jeanette Anderson, his father Carl Buchanan Sr, and his siblings, who will continue to carry forward his legacy of love, kindness, and joy. The memories of Carl’s contagious laughter, smile, and warmth will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were privileged to share his journey. There are no goodbyes for us, you will forever be in our hearts.

My sincerest condolences to the family and loved ones of Carl! I am an old high school friend of Carl and he was also the best homecoming date to me! He had a beautiful, radiant spirit, with a wonderful smile who was always ahead of his time! I still remember some of the funniest jokes he would make in class to this day! I appreciated his sense of humor and all the great memories! His presence on Earth was truly a gift! *sincerely, Fawn

Thinking back Carl was a big part of my childhood. From the first time we met on the basketball court on badger ridge. He was the reason I got better at shooting with defense as he was about twice my size lol. I remember when he played football in high school and I was always kicking it with his little brother Marcus. Back when the first Xbox was out and his mom and grandma would have some soul food made the good old days. You will be missed Carl but never forgotten until we meet again fly high!

They say the lord puts people in your life for a season, to teach you lessons in life, I only wish this season could have lasted forever. You taught me kindness, patience, perseverance, and humility but most of all you taught me how to love myself for who I am. You stood by me through my worst and celebrated me at my best, and I thank God for every second of every day he allowed you to be in my life. I don't know what direction life will lead me from here, but I do know that I will continue to make you proud!!! I love you and already miss you so much ❤️
