- Carlton Edward McCuiston, Jr., 70, passed away peacefully on June 2, 2021. A loving and devoted family man, he loved people and enjoyed helping others. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed help. A true and genuine man of God, Carlton was honest, trustworthy, giving, and dependable. He was pure of heart and lived by Jacob’s words found in Jacob 3:1-2: “…look unto God with firmness of mind, pray with exceeding faith.” Those who knew him loved him and his kind and gentle nature. . One of Carlton’s personal mottos was, “Put your shoulder to the wheel.” He never shied away from hard work and he instilled these values in his children. He was looked up to by his son as a father and man.
Carlton was a past church leader and past Bishop for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was a veteran of the United States Navy, where he served four years. He decided when he married the love of his life, Donna that he would leave the military and continue to serve as a civilian at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. An incredibly intelligent man, he worked as the Chief Testing Engineer until his retirement. Throughout retirement, he enjoyed going on “Donna and Carlton’s Excellent Adventures” all over the world. He was fun and lively, always bringing joy where he went.
