He was born March 18, 1947, in Durham, NC, to Carl E. Brown and Helen Elizabeth Crittenton. He attended Durham High School, graduating in 1965. Upon graduation, Carl proudly served in the United States Air Force for 4 years, with a tour of duty in Vietnam from 1967-1968. After discharge, he married his wife of 52 years, Lynne Whitaker Brown, and they moved to Greenville, NC for Carl to attend East Carolina University. While at ECU he was a dedicated member of the Veterans Club, attending many functions with others that had served. ECU football was his passion, attending as many games as they could, and were very fortunate to be in Atlanta when the pirates won the Peach Bowl.

Carl had a long and distinguished career in banking with BB&T, bringing commitment and exemplary customer service to his many clients. After 32 years with BB&T he and Lynne moved to Atlantic Beach, NC. Carl was an avid fisherman involved in many fishing tournaments up and down the east coast. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, and being a kind and thoughtful husband, brother, father, and grandfather to the apple of his eye, Addy.

He is survived by his wife Lynne; daughter, Megan Rosenberg and Matt of Wilmington, NC; brothers, Thomas Crittenton and Beth of Durham, NC; and David Crittenton of Butner, NC; grand-daughters Addison Layne Rosenberg, and Bella Rosenberg; and grand-son, Grayson Rosenberg.
