Scott Ira Carl

Scott Ira Carl, 47, of St. Petersburg died peacefully Saturday evening at his home following a long illness. Scott was born in St. Petersburg and attended Shorecrest Preparatory School and Admiral Farragut Academy, later graduating from Center Academy. He lived in St. Petersburg his entire life and was an avid surfer, Bob Marley fan, and a devoted follower of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a love he inherited from his father, Donnie, who predeceased Scott. The last years of his life were enriched by a caring father-son relationship with his mother’s partner, Charles Morachnik. He will be remembered by friends and family for the sweetness of his personality. Scott is survived by his mother, Susan Carl-Singleton of St. Petersburg; sister, Michelle Carl Rodriguez of Los Angeles; aunt and uncle, Nancy and Michael Gallant of St. Petersburg; nephew, Eddie Rodriguez of Redondo Beach, CA; and cousins, Jennie Huse of Orlando and Daniel Gallant of St. Petersburg. A memorial service will be held at 4 pm Tuesday, January 23 at the David C. Gross Funeral Home, 6366 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Scott’s memory to the Florida Holocaust Museum or Temple Beth-El. David C. Gross Funeral Homes, Central Avenue Chapel in St. Petersburg is serving the family. Service Information
