In Loving Memory of Carl Franklin Bedwell II
Houston, TX
1956 – 2025
It is with deep sorrow and heartfelt remembrance that we announce the passing of Carl Franklin Bedwell II, who died peacefully in his sleep at 6:39 a.m. on June 11, 2025, at the age of 69. Carl’s passing leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and unwavering commitment to his family and those fortunate enough to know him.
Born in Arkansas in 1956, Carl spent much of his life in Houston, Texas, where he became a beloved member of the community and a constant source of strength and warmth to his family. A proud father of six, Carl cherished his role as a grandfather and uncle, always putting family first and making sure that every birthday, holiday, and milestone was marked with his presence and support.
Carl was widely known for his generosity, kindness, and quiet wisdom. He had a way of making others feel seen and valued—whether it was through a small act of kindness, a thoughtful note, or simply lending an ear when someone needed it most. His compassion extended beyond his family circle, touching friends, neighbors, and strangers alike. To know Carl was to know loyalty, humility, and a deep well of love.
Throughout his life, Carl built strong and enduring bonds with his children and grandchildren, offering advice, support, and unconditional love. He was a steady hand and a calming presence in the lives of many, and his memory will live on in the stories shared, the lessons taught, and the hearts he touched.
As we gather in the coming days to celebrate Carl’s life and honor his memory, the family welcomes all who knew him to join in remembering the moments of joy, laughter, and love that defined his journey. Details regarding the memorial service will be announced soon. Any support for the service or to assist the family during this difficult time is deeply appreciated.
Carl’s passing is a profound loss, but his spirit remains with us—in every shared smile, every act of kindness, and every loving memory. May he rest peacefully, surrounded by the love he gave so freely in life.
