It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Karl Maddox. A cherished father, grandfather, cousin, and uncle, Karl’s sudden departure leaves a deep void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.
Karl was a proud veteran who dedicated a significant part of his life to serving our country. His bravery and commitment to protecting the freedoms we hold dear were only matched by his unwavering love for his family. Recently, Karl faced a courageous battle with lung cancer, confronting every challenge with remarkable strength, dignity, and hope. Surrounded by his loved ones and receiving compassionate hospice care, he peacefully passed on, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, kindness, and integrity.
Karl’s connection to Alaska was a defining part of who he was — a place of vast wilderness and rugged beauty, much like the spirit he carried within him. His love for the land and the community there was reflected in the many lives he touched with his warmth, wisdom, and generosity.
As we grieve this immense loss, we are planning a small, intimate service in Alaska, where family and close friends can come together to celebrate Karl’s life and honor his memory. Following this, we will be transporting him to College Station, Texas, his final resting place, where he will be laid to rest among loved ones and cherished memories.
During this difficult time, we deeply appreciate the outpouring of support, prayers, and condolences from friends and family near and far. Your kindness provides us comfort and strength as we navigate this heartbreaking journey.
Karl Maddox’s spirit will live on in the stories we share, the lessons he taught us, and the love he so freely gave. Though he is no longer with us in body, his legacy remains a guiding light for all who were blessed to know him.
May he rest in eternal peace.
