I'm Carl's little sister and I have just gone through all these unbelievable messages - so amazed to see people still posting. Your love of my brother really makes me understand how missed he is by so many. I think of him often and fondly, I'm so pleased that others do too! Thank you for your kind words.
Oh Suby, how I miss your laugh and the laughs you brought to the group, you always had our backs and made Halo the only real relief I got from this crazy world. Am praying we will get together someday on the next plain. Lag...

Carl was a fun guy and was a gentle soul. I worked with him back in Victoria before he went on his big adventure back to the UK. We shared many beer and good times together and l cherish our good times and conversations together. We both had a love of cars and would talk endlessly about American muscle cars. Carl helped nuture my appreciation and love for American muscle cars. I lost track with Carl when he left Victoria, but l was very pleased he had a good paying job that would give him the happy life he deserved. You are missed Carl, l had always hoped to grab a beer with you in London. I will always treasure our memories and good times together. All the best my dear Carl.
So sorry to hear of Carl's passing. I worked with Carl in the late '80s at an air conditioning company in Victoria BC. He was a great guy. Sorry he is gone.
“Subby” as we called him on Halo Reach was an awesome guy; hilariously funny and fun to play with. He will be missed very much by both myself and many others.
Carl, your friendship and camaraderie is the main reason we band together on a virtual game like Halo. You gave the squad your heart and soul, fought for your brothers and covered our backs! Your humor was contagious, and made us appreciate the pleasures of being a team. Although we never met in person I feel like we knew each other better than many friends do. The stories you told about Thailand and work in the UK gave us a glimpse of your life and Passions. Even though Halo was a small portion of your life, I think it was an important one that allowed us to know you, consider you a friend albeit across the street, the pond or the world! We will keep you in our prayers and honor your memory for you have touched many…
Martine, Tara and Bill, This is such shocking news to learn. Carl was your little brother Martine; too young to die. And my surprise to see in his photo how much he takes after your dad. My condolences to you all.
To the Carl Family, Our deepest condolences to each and everyone of you. Carl was like family to all of us individually and in different ways. Words are just not enough to express how we feel. He is missed and he will forever be in our minds. May we all find comfort in his greatest memories that we shared with him. Gone too soon.

Carl will be missed! We met online, Halo 3. When I was learning how to play. I must of betrayed him at least twice on our first game. We both found it amusing.
He came to meet us (my boyfriend and I, maybe one of our friends too). I believe it was in a pub in Camden. It was a good evening. We spent many hours on Halo together, always having a laugh about how the other team needed their 'boyfriend' to double team and kill us. I hope Carl received a photo and card when in hospital. It was of my daughters. My eldest (3 years old) coloured a picture for him. I wish all his family and friends the best. We miss you. Rest in Peace Subby! Love from Kayla
One of my childhood memories of Carl is when my mum was looking after him. Having cousins close in age is always a bonus as you often become fast friends and in our family this was very true, so much so that we seem to have followed each other around the globe a few times and still today there is nothing that distance can seperate as the strong memories do bind us. On this one particular afternoon my mum was attempting to feed us all with her famously filling stew of mostly potatoes and carrots. I personally detested this stew as it seemed to live forever in the pressure cooker ... Somehow we were never out of stew. Poor Carl felt exactly the same and as we both sat at the kitchen table with bowls of stew which we were supposed to 'eat up' I believe we concocted a plan of how to get rid of the stew by a quick trip or two to the outhouse. Usually I would have eaten it and hated it but seeing poor Carl's face turning green made me feel ill also. I do think This is how it is with those you are close to growing up . It is impossible not to feel their emotions . Carl was a sensitive and quiet boy. He seemed to slot into extended family time so easily that he was almost invisible and perhaps even that went unnoticed. Carl my lovely unassuming cousin, you will be missed xoxox
I am Carl's ex wife. I was glad I shared 10 years of my life with him traveling to England & Greece. I can't believe he is not with us, but not forgotten. RIP.
