Jesse Carl Hallford, 85, of Dothan, Alabama (Wicksburg area), went to be with his Lord Jesus Christ on Saturday, January 3, 2015.

Carl was a godly, Christian man who loved Christ, his family, his church, his friends, and his fellow man. He worked for Southeast Alabama Gas District for the majority of his career while maintaining an active family and church life. He was a current and charter member of Logos Baptist Church and was a long time member of Mount Gilead Baptist Church. Of his many contributions to others, he was most proud of his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and nieces and nephews who looked to him for wisdom and guidance.
