Carl Brush

March 10, 1955 - November 15, 2023

Carl S. Brush, of Lodi, finally escaped his nagging ex-wives on November 15, 2023, at the age of 68. Carl leaves behind 2 known biological children, Carl E. and Angela; 3 living stepchildren, Jessica, Jason and Jessalyn Luna, and an unknown number of illegitimate children. Although Carl’s biological kids have thus far refused to pass his genes onto any other unfortunate souls, his step kids had better options, which resulted in him being referred to by the inaccurate moniker of “Papa Syl” by 7 step grandchildren - Gregory, Alexis, Bridgette, Jason, Antonio, Keysa, Cyrus and 3 great grandchildren Makayla, Serenity, and Nehemiah. Carl was a terrible husband, okay parent, and tolerable friend. 

Carl’s parents, the original Carl E. and Cleo (Sillmon) Brush, Carl’s sister Kira Brazo, and stepson Greg Baker tried to escape his presence by dying first, but now they are stuck with him for eternity. His surviving family members and friends are now looking forward to some much-needed peace and quiet and would like to remind God there are no take backs. Family is asking that anyone who remembers him fondly please seek mental help.
