Carl was born on May 17, 1956 in Rock Island, Illinois, a son of Mary Ann (Rock) Battin. He was married to Georgia Gano on 1981 until 1997. He drove a tow truck for All Service Garage and later retired from Labors Local 309 in 2002.
Carl loved music especially oldies, soul, and rhythm/blues. He loved tinkering and fixing old cars, bike riding, walks in the parks, and dancing. His harmless practical jokes and ability to make others laugh made him the life of the party. He found solace in the beauty of Gods creation enjoying sunsets, birds, and rivers. Most of all he was kind hearted to everyone. He loved watching the joy on childrens faces as they responded to his love and humor. He will be sorely missed by many.
Carl is survived by his girlfriend of 10 years, Julie Webb; children: Joshua Anderson, Moline, Karl Aaron Karzin (Kelidean Kampe), Silvis, Bernie Gano, Moline, Jessica (Jeremiah) Fry, Rock Island, Geordie Jacobs, Milan, and Rhiannon Rocha, Milan; many grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, his mother, Mary Ann Battin, Rock Island; sister, Deborah Goossens, East Moline, a brother, Jerald Jacobs, Milan.
