TERRANCE "TONY" CARNELL

Mr. Terrance Anthony Carnell the son of the late Willie Oscar and Cora Lee Carnell was born on September 15, 1968 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  He was affectionately known as “Tony” aka “Noodle” to his family and friends.

Tomy graduated from Emmrich Manual High School where he was in the ROTC Program. He worked for Wendy’s Restaurant for twelve years. He most recent and last place of employment was at Unlimited Care Builders.

Tony was a man whose heart was anchored in faith, family, and a deep love for gospel music. His presence filled the room with a mix of confidence, humor, and a kindness that ran deeper than he ever let on.

Tony loved going to church, where he found joy, purpose, and healing. Gospel music spoke to his soul and carried that same uplifting spirit into the lives of those around him.  He had a remarkable gift with numbers-quick, sharp, and always precise. His “know it all” attitude was a part of his charm, a trait that made him unforgettable and often brought laughter to those who knew him best.

Above all, Tony loved his family to the highest degree, especially his brother, Ricky those two would get together sometime until the we hours of the morning enjoying each other and agreeing to disagree. He showed that love in his own unique way-through loyalty, through presence and through the quiet, steady kindness that defined him

Kurt Carnell passed away on February 1, 2026, at the age of fifty-seven. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Tony is survived by one brother, Ricky D.
