Carl Swan Hand

Carl Swan Hand, age 87, born on Monday, March 22, 1937, in Burke County, was a man who treasured his family above all else and found immense joy in their company. His recent passing on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Taylorsville House in Alexander County has left a void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Throughout his life, Carl was known for his strong work ethic and his passion for managing rental properties. However, it was his role within his family that truly defined him. He shared a deep love with his loved ones and made sure to nurture these relationships with love and care.

Carl is preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Bonnie Cline Hand, as well as his wife Lois Mayrene Hand. He is also reunited with his brothers Lonnie, Paul, Hayden, Glenn, and Ned Hand, along with his sisters Linda Rogers and Myrtle Lail.

While Carl may no longer be with us, he leaves behind a legacy that will be carried on by those he held dear. He is survived by his sons Tommy Hand and Danny Hand (Cindy), who will continue to honor his memory. Carl's grandchildren Danielle, Dustin, and Nicholas will fondly remember their grandfather, as will his four great-grandchildren. Additionally, Ethel Jones remains to cherish the moments shared with her brother.
