William "Carl" Crockett Obituary (2018)

William Carl Crockett, 63, died December 18, 2018. Carl was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on June 6, 1955 to Charles Burleson Crockett, Sr. and May Mazyck Rosenblath Crockett. Carl graduated from Beaufort High School and earned a bachelor's degree from Georgia Southern University. He was a member of Saint Peter's Catholic Church. He was preceded in death by his beloved granddaughter, Hannah Katherine Collins. Carl is survived by his wife of forty years, Katherine Platt Crockett, his daughters Caroline B. Crockett and Elizabeth B. Crockett, one Grandson, Clayton Carl Collins, his parents, Charles and May Crockett, brother Charles B. Crockett, Jr., sisters Katharine Harrelson (Brian), and Naomi Crockett Wall all of Beaufort, South Carolina, and brother Stuart Crockett (Teressa) of Orange City Florida, and the many nieces and nephews who referred to him as "Uncle Fun." Fun only begins to describe this charismatic, loving, wonderful Father and Husband. Carl was kind to all he met and never hesitated to help those in need. A patriarch, comedian, and man's man; he loved his family, friends, fishing, boating, golf, tennis, and music of all genres. He shared these loves with a host of friends. His great love for the Lord reflected upon all he did and everyone he knew. Although he was educated as an engineer, the profession of sales called to him and he was a natural at the art of the deal. Carl's work took him all over the world and at various times found him and Kathy living in Guam, Dallas, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina; however, he always returned to his beloved Lowcountry. The family would like to thank all the kind and compassionate caregivers at Friends of Caroline Hospice as well as the many friends who provided their support during Carl's journey. Visitation will be held at Anderson Funeral Home from 5-7 p.m., Wednesday, December 26, 2018. A Mass of Christian Burial be held at 9:30 a.m., Thursday, December 27, 2018, at Historic Saint Peter's Church with interment to follow at the Church cemetery. The family will receive friends at 52 Wade Hampton Drive, Beaufort, South Carolina
