Psalms 21:3 You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

Evon Carlton 93 was born March 26, 1931, in Wilkes County to Rob and Estella Carlton.

He was educated at Lincoln Heights School.  He worked in the furniture industry and later retired from Tysons Foods.  Evon was also a professional painter. Evon accepted the Lord at an early age at Thankful Missionary Baptist Church in Boomer.  He was a member of Beulah Presbyterian Church.

He was a very nurturing husband and father. Evon was known as a person who stood on his word. He is loved by his family and cherished by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and those who viewed him as a father figure in their lives. He was a man of few words but when he spoke, he gave you a word from God that you can apply to your life. 

He ascended to Christ on April 20th at his home in North Wilkesboro surround by his wife and children. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Charlie and Earl Carlton, and two sisters, Dessie Suddreth and Joyce Howell.
