Obituary
"Big Low"
clvlr. Carlos clvlusante ~arber was born on August
18,1974 to Mrs. Shirley Barber and Mr. Moses Barber.
Carlos was an honor graduate in the Class of g4 from the East Coweta High School. He excelled in many areas of studies and extra curricular activities to include the Spanish Club where he mastered speaking fluent Spanish, often to the ladies, F.B.L.A. (Future Business Leaders of America), the Varsity football team, and others.
Known for his fashion, Carlos was loved by many and never met a stranger. He provided for his family and open heartedly gave to his friends. He worked three jobs, one of which he was a forklift operator at the Exel Company, owner and operator of Mr. Fix-It Construction Company, and an excellent Auto Detailer. Those who knew Carlos best would say that there could never be enough words to describe him, but some of his best qualities came from these: very affectionate, cheerful, loving, caring, giving, well groomed, just to name a few. Carlos hobbies include his love for cars and the beauty they possessed, painting, cooking, and traveling.
Carlos' love for life lives on in his survivors, mother, Mr.
and Mrs. Matthew Johnson, Jr. (Shirley); father, Mr. Moses Barber, Jr.; sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Montgomery (Natasha), Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boston, Jr. (Tashara), Ms. Camile Barber; brother, Mr. Marlo Barber; niece, Miss Yhikennnya Boston; nephew, Master Nakeitheus Kemp; grandmother, Mrs. Alma Barber; great-grandmother, Mrs. Margaret Banks; aunts, Ms. Linda Barber, Ms. Glenda Barber, Ms. Vivian Smith, Ms. Agnes Blount, Ms. Mary Ann Thomas, Ms. Vickie Tucker, Ms. Alice Daniels, Ms. Alice White, Ms. Dorothy Terrell; uncles, Mr. Ozzie Barber, Reverend and Mrs. Donald Barber (Sandorell), Mr. Willie Barber, Mr. Walter Maddox, Mr. Willie Johnson, Mr. Willie L. Terrell; special cousin, Mr. Walter Maddox; special friend, Mr. Donald Robinson; God brother, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Hardaway (Marguerite); God sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hill (Audrey), Mrs. Tracy Hardaway; God mother, Mrs. Janie Hardaway, and a host of other cousins, neighbors, relatives, and friends.

J 3inishcd Early

I had a lot to do, more than some of you.

But yet, you wonder why I rest. I finished early.

I started on time, even though the choice was mine;

and I put in a full days work, But I finished early.

All though at first the road was long

But I just asked the Lord to keep me strong

And, step by step, I ran the race, I just finished early

I'm not a quitter, my friend, I kept on fighting until the end;

\

And the only thing I can say is, I finished early.

t

By the measure of man' mind and not God's own time,

Do some of you look at the years. I finished early.

But with God it counts not at all

How long, how brief, how great, how small.

He looks for a ready heart, even if you finish early.

May I go now? Don't you think the time is right?

May I say good-bye to pain-filled days
I've;:~:::~;~ ~n:~o:~:~:est,
An example I've tried to be.

So may I take this step beyond

and set my spirit free?

s

I didn't want to go at first:

p

I fought with an my might.

E

But something seem to draw me now,

c

To a warm and loving light.

I

I'll not be far-! promise that,

A

And hope you'll always know

L

that my spirit will be close to you,

Wherever you may go.

T

Thank you for loving me;

R

you know that I loved you, too.

I

That's why it's hard to say good-bye and end this life with you.

So hold me now, just one more time

And let me hear you say,

Because you, care so much for me,

You will let me go today!

No one knows pain except one who has been afflicted by it. No one knows sorrow lest he has been caused to grieve it. And there is no heart that can bear those grievances without the warmness shown
by friends. We want you to know that our hearts have been warmed by the kindness, condolences, flowers
and such sympathies shown during the sudden passing of our beloved son and brother.
