Carl A. Frost

Carl A. Frost, 90, of Gloucester, passed away Sunday, August 11­, 2019, at his home.

A memorial service for Carl will be held at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 16, 2019, at New Hope Baptist Church, Beaufort, with Pastor Darryl W. Chadwick officiating.

Carl honorably served in the United States Marine Corps as a China Marine in Tsing Tao, China with the 1st Marine Division.  After his discharge from the military, he married the love of his life, Myra, whom he was blessed to spend 77 years with.

Carl was the owner and operator of Carl Frost Gradall Rental. He was a heavy equipment operator, specializing in road construction. His talent and skill in his field allowed him to be responsible for building the banked turns on the first Daytona Speedway. Carl later worked for HCJB World Radio in both Miami, Florida and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

He and Myra were charter members of Hollywood Hills Missionary Christian Alliance in Hollywood, Florida and became members of New Hope Baptist Church in Beaufort when they moved to North Carolina. He had a love for the younger generation and enjoyed youth ministry. He also helped found the Christian Service Brigade (for boys) at Hollywood Hills Alliance.

Carl grew up in the Everglades where he created a love for the outdoors and fishing. In his retirement, he was able to once again enjoy the great outdoors. They spent time camping, traveling and he was able to enjoy his great passion of fishing. Some of his friends joked that he could catch a fish in a mud puddle. In 2011, they moved to Gloucester, North Carolina where they enjoyed family and their church fellowship. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

He is survived by his daughter, Carol Fielder and husband Chris of Gloucester; son, Dan Frost and wife Cindy of High Springs, FL; grandchildren, Steven Parker of Asheville, Amy Frost of High Springs, FL, Ben Frost of Davie, FL, Carrie Frost of Trenton, FL; and great-grandchildren, Braelyn Frost of Trenton, FL, Jaxson Parker of Asheville, Shaeleigh Frost of Trenton, FL and Taelyn Frost of Trenton.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Myra Lee Davenport Frost; parents, Joseph and Violet Frost; and grandchild, Michael Parker.
