Carlos Singleton

Carlos Singleton was born July 12, 1944 in Savannah, Georgia to Elijah Singleton and Mamie McGirt Singleton. He transitioned from Earth to Heaven on Friday, August 21, 2020 at the age of 76.

Carlos was an extremely proud American and honored veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Vietnam War. He was a faithful, hard-working employee of John Deere & Company where he retired in 2004 after nearly 30 years of service.

Carlos enjoyed the outdoors and could often be found cooking his favorite foods on his grill, in his smoker or using his “southern ingenuity”, makeshift, front-porch grill. He was especially fond of seafood, particularly blue crabs, and would coordinate outdoor seafood feasts with his family whenever he visited his hometown of Savannah. He also loved reading the newspaper, listening to music, and watching his favorite football teams, The Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns.

Carlos was preceded in death by his parents, Elijah and Mamie Singleton; and sisters, Vivian Malone, Shirley Miller, Joyce Martin, and Jewell Proctor.

Carlos leaves to cherish his memories, his loving and devoted former wife, Bernadean Singleton; daughters, Latoia (Frank) Burgess, Tami (Jeff) Hairston, Dana (Curtis) Freeman, and Carlita (Kevin) Smith; sisters, Nathalee Mitchell and Jacqueline Fordham; and a multitude of loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, former in-laws, and friends.
