Carl spent his professional career as a contractor, working tirelessly as a self-employed entrepreneur.

His work was more than a livelihood—it was a testament to his strong work ethic and passion for building.

A loving and devoted family man, Carl is survived by his cherished wife, Eulia Dupree Wagnone of Olanta, SC. He leaves behind a legacy of love and guidance to his children: James David (Lisa) Hayes of Elloree, Douglas B. (Audra) Hayes of Pamplico, and Shannon (Phil) Tedder of Florence. His spirit and values will continue to live on through his six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, whom he adored and shared countless memories with.

Carl is also survived by his brothers, Gerald Wayne Wagnone, and Charles Glenn (Debria) Wagnone, , along with his sister, Marcia Lynn Marks, all of Houston, Texas. Their shared memories of growing up in Texas bond them closely even as they grieve this profound loss.

He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Raymond Frank Wagnone and Hazel Luce Wagnone, whose values and teachings shaped him into the man he became—strong, kind, and always striving to better the world around him and his brother, and Raymond Frank Wagnone, Jr.
