My name is Eric Ware, and I am reaching out for support after the recent loss of my brother-in-law, Carl Bright. Carl passed away on February 14, and our family is heartbroken. He was 66 years old and had suffered a stroke a few months ago, from which he never fully recovered. While we are comforted knowing he is no longer suffering and is in a better place, the loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.

Carl was originally born in Mariana, Arkansas in 1959. Was a whiz in high school, and every high school year he won the class ‘s wittiest student. He then moved to Milwaukee, Ware. He was a manager at Pittsburgh Paints. As many do, he ended up moving back to Arkansas, Little Rock, to be exact, in 1987. In Little Rock work several jobs, but could never secure one to sustain him..

Anyone who knew Carl knew of his spirit to always offer help to anyone in need. He was the kind of person who would make himself available to do any work within his capabilities, always with a smile and a great sense of humor. His positive attitude and willingness to lend a hand touched many lives, and we will truly miss his presence in our family and community.

Unfortunately, Carl did not have any insurance, and my wife and I are both on fixed incomes. We are handling his funeral arrangements ourselves, and the costs are more than we can manage alone. We plan to have Carl cremated, hold a small, intimate service, and gather with family to honor his memory. Any support you can offer will go directly toward these expenses and help us give Carl the farewell he deserves.

I would like to thank everyone who views my fundraiser request. I am a perfect example of how wonderful friends, family, and everyday people can be, as I have experienced generosity firsthand. There is no ending to God’s love. Please share this fundraiser with your friends. I have faith that my goal will be met. Thank you so much for your consideration and generosity.
