Carl Shenning Obituary
Born on October 27, 1962, in New Jersey, Carl dedicated much of his life to his career as a real estate agent and broker. His professional journey was marked by integrity and dedication, qualities that extended into every aspect of his life.
Beyond his career, Carl was a man of deep faith and unwavering generosity. A devoted Christian, he professed his faith in Jesus and lived in a way that reflected his beliefs. He served as a deacon for many years at First Baptist Church Brandon and later at a church in Gainesville. His commitment to service extended beyond the church walls-he was an Eagle Scout leader and always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
Carl had a passion for life that was evident in everything he did. An avid golfer and racquetball player, he found joy on the course and the court. He also loved reading historical books and spending time at the beach. A skilled handyman, he enjoyed working on car projects with and for his children, always eager to share his knowledge and skills with them.
Above all else, Carl cherished his family. He is survived by his daughters Courtney (Shenning) Wardy and her husband Doug, along with their children Dominic and Cadynce; Cassandra (Shenning) Icenhour and her husband Eric; Kaitlyn Shenning, and her son Ripley; and his son Royce Shenning and his wife Rachel. He is also survived by his sister Pamela Stinson; his brother David Shenning and his wife Debbie; as well as two nieces and two nephews. Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Zelda Shenning, and his brother-in-law Barry Stinson.
Those who knew Carl remember him as a man with a big heart-likable by everyone he met, always making others feel important by giving them his full attention. He was honorable, owning up to mistakes while rising to every occasion with strength and grace. A sacrificial giver, he put others before himself without hesitation.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, March 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Brandon, located at 216 N Parsons Ave, Brandon, Florida 33510. Visitation starts at 12:00 PM.
Carl's legacy of kindness, faith, and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.

Our tears have fallen & our hearts have broken as my cousin & our "Best Man" left us all too soon. The memories at our grandparents all those summers ago will never be forgotten nor will all the golf we played in CT and FL. Actually, there were some rounds we would both like to forget...
We will always remember you as kind sincere Carl with the biggest of hearts & a true gentleman. We will miss you more than you´ll ever know.
May the "heavenly fairways" be good to you.

I knew Carl from our volunteer work at the Greater Tampa Realtors Association. He was a great leader, an exemplary volunteer and just a wonderful person. My sympathy is extended to his family.

A move from Brandon did not remove the love that I had for you in my heart, dear friend. The journey you have now taken can not remove the love I still have in my heart, dear friend. See ya.

I am a relatively new agent to BHHS. In the two years I knew Carl, I found him to be a fabulous mentor, friend, and the ultimate company man. He always knew the right thing to say, accentuating the positive We shared good times both business wise and on a personal level. The world is sadder from his passing, but the angels in Heaven are rejoicing. My condolences to Royce (I always kept up with you from your dad) and the rest of his family, which I never had the pleasure of meeting. As long as we keep memories of him in out hearts, he will always be with us.

Carl was a great Managing Broker to our office. He was always available to listen. He always started our weekly meetings with "What day is today? We would answer, Another day in Paradise!" It certainly doesn´t feel like that now. Carl will certainly be missed by us all!

Carl was my best friend. I first met him at the racquetball courts almost 5 years ago. We played racquetball two days a week. 4 years ago I got into golf which was another passion Carl had. Had it bad. Little did I know where golf was going to take me. Carl and I played 19 different courses together.
When I said having it bad brings to mind playing Turkey Creek the day the Hurricane was coming in. With the winds you never knew where the ball would go. Playing Lake city Country Club in the winter where he froze because he wore shorts thinking it was going to warm up, it didn´t. Playing Ocala National on the 18th hole facing the clubhouse with lightning bolts lighting up the sky. Chiefland Golf club during a thunderstorm where we got so wet I think it took two days to dry out.
All I can say is if you were lucky enough to know him you were blessed.
Missed dearly but never forgotten.
