Football Coach

Obituary:

Carl Robert Anderson, best known as Captain or Coach, passed away on February 17, 2021. He was born in 1964 to Neva Mae Mills and Herman Thomas Anderson. He was a loving husband to Ann Marie; a proud father to Carly Ann and Austin; and a proud Captain to his grandson, Lincoln Robert.
Carl attended Haltom High School where he played football and baseball. He fell in love with Ann Marie Baxter in 1984 and one year later, they were married on June 7, 1985 – it was the rodeo sweetheart’s Levi’s and blue eyeshadow that sealed the deal. In 1991, just before Carly Ann was born, Carl graduated from Texas Wesleyan University and, three years later, their little family was complete with the arrival of Austin. Being a dad to Carly Ann and Austin was Carl’s greatest accomplishment and he made sure everyone knew just how proud he was of his kids.
Carl landed his first job after college at Carter-Riverside High School where he coached football and was the head baseball coach, kicking off a 30 year career inspiring students and molding young athletes into better men.
Carl is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Ann Marie and his children, Carly Ann and future son-in-law, Alex Akrawi and Austin; grandson, Lincoln; sister, Linda and husband, Bo; brother-in-law, Kevin and wife, Paige; in-laws, Norma and Mitch Baxter; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; and a host of “Framily.”
A graveside service will be held on Friday, February 26 at 10:00 am at Mount Olivet in Fort Worth. The family asks that you please maintain social distance and wear a mask for the duration of the service.
