I usually dont get into posting the sympathy or fundraising type stuff but a friend of mine messaged me on facebook about this and I felt compelled to offer my assistance in getting the word out on this...
On March 8, 2014, a friend of mine was shot to death in West Palm Beach, Florida. Carlton McCartney was a graduate student in the Leadership program (two months shy of completing his Master's) at Palm Beach Atlantic University. A father of four, devoted husband, a servant leader, and a humble friend, Carlton went out to get party supplies for his son's, Carlton Jr., 1st birthday (March 17, 2014). After he purchased the supplies, Carlton reached out to help a friend move and was shoot to death. We are devastated by the loss. Currently, there are no suspects. As a result, I started a fund online for his wife and their four children to cover the cost of burial expenses and help her get on her feet.
For all of us blessed to know Carlton McCartney, his tender heart and love for others will always remain part of his legacy. He was a a great father and husband, compassionate leader, exemplary student, and one-of-a-kind friend. The tragic loss has devastated many, as we know he was destined for greatness.
While his heart always strived to help others, we have an opportunity to help his family that remains. Carlton leaves behind Erica, his wife of 8 years, and their four children, Ilyana -11, Shayla - 8, Nylah - 6, and 1 yr old son Carlton, Jr. Please support any way possible to help the McCartney family during this devastating time.
