Louis Carl Willis, III suddenly passed away on Monday, July 3, 2017. He was born on November 27, 1961 in Little Rock.
He was a loving and much-loved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He found and brought joy to every occasion. He went to join the Lord, his father, Louis Carl Willis, Jr. and daughter Grace, all of whom he loved dearly. Left to cherish his memory are husband, Trey Willis; mother, Geraldine C. Willis; daughter, Bebe Willis Ramser; grandson, Finn Ramser; sisters, Gerre Lou Wisdom (Chuck) and Jan Asbury (Olan). There are many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews who will greatly miss their Uncle Carl.
Carl was a conscientious and caring nurse with a vast diversity of passionate interests including music, theater and films, art, magic, comedy, and travel. We will forever treasure the memories of Carl's fun-loving spirit, quick wit, and sense of humor. Services will be held at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home on Friday, July 7, at 1:00pm preceded by visitation at 12 noon.
I am so sorry to hear of Louis' passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought me comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.
We met when he started work at the VA. I was his preceptor. We became great friends while working together. It was Carl that encouraged me to continue my education in the BSN program. We had many study sessions and projects. We also visited each other at our homes. It was a long friendship. He was a facebook friend to Ron, who kept me up on all the news in his life. I know we will miss him, he was a wonderful friend kind, generous, caring and compassionate. We enjoyed every moment with him, Bebe and his mom. Bebe was so little when we met and is now a beautiful mom herself. Our hearts are broken and will always remember Carl as the wonderful person he is. With great love, sadness and respect we send our deepest sympathy from Ron and Paulette Henson.
My heart aches with you today as you celebrate Carl's life. It is impossible to remember Carl without smiling. He was a bright star always spreading sunshine. Please know that you are in our prayers. I''ve always loved the Willis family!!
Mark and I send our condolences. We are so sad, and our deepest sympathy goes to Carl's friends and family and others closest to Carl. We will remember Carl's big smile and kind heart.
I want to send my condolences to Carl's Mom, Sisters, and extended family! He was a few years behind me, but always the laugh of the party in his youth group at the church where we grew up. Later, Carl and worked at the VA Medical Center at the same time. I never ran into him when he didn't offer me a big smile and positive words. He was a kind, funny, loving and gentle man. As I sat at home tonight making plans to attend services for Carl tomorrow, I realized that they will be in the same Chapel at Roller Chenal where services were held for my daughter just three short years ago. With that I realized that it would be too difficult for me to attend the services. To the family, I Love You and am praying for you during this time. I hope you can take comfort knowing that Carl is in his Heavenly home. God bless each and every one of you! Loretta
Dear Carl,
I miss you so much!! No one to sing tunes with. No one to have my back at work. No one to look out for me at work. You held me up and comforted me through the pain and grieving of the loss of my Grandsons and my daughter. You were always there with you Loving heart, wisdom and caring that someone not from here would share! You never 'left me 4 wheeling in the mud'- in our own way we were bookends. No one to whistle Todd Rungren songs with. You fill my heart friend. We are more alike than not! Love Trey, Bebe, Finn, your sisters and 'Momma'. I want the computer to the left of you when I get there!!!💋❤️💔
Jan, I was so saddened to read of Carl's sudden passing. Thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Carroll and Judy Bates

I was very sad to hear of Carl's passing. He and I were in the same BSN program and I, like others, smiled so often because of things he said or did. I certainly appreciated his dedication to nursing. He will be missed.
