Carl Bernard Garner
March 26, 1936 - April 29, 2016
Carl Bernard Garner, 80, of Dripping Springs, passed from earthly life into eternity on April 29, 2016.
Carl was a highly-respected educator, mentor, minister, a prolific writer, and much-loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.

His commitment to Christ was his lifelong focus, realized now with his victory in Jesus.

For nearly 53 years, they shared a life of ministry and service to the Lord. Carl was the Bible Chair Director first at Navarro Junior College, then at SWTSU, and most recently served as Elder and evangelist for the Dripping Springs church of Christ. He taught at the Southwest School of Bible Studies for more than 25 years.
Carl is preceded in death by his parents, Carl and Letha Garner. He is survived by his devoted wife, Janice, son Douglas (wife Karen,) daughter Carla (husband John,) five grandchildren, and brother, Jay Garner.
Visitation is 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at the Dripping Springs Church of Christ, followed by a 3:00 service. Burial will follow at Philips Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, Carl would be honored by contributions either to World Video Bible School or to the Southwest School of Bible Studies (Carl Garner Lighthouse Scholarship.)
