Carlin N. Rose, Jr.

Carlin Nevill Rose, Jr., 82, a loving husband, brother, uncle, and proud veteran of the United States Army, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at his residence in Staunton.

He was born on June 9, 1942, in Alexandria to the late Carlin Nevill, Sr. and Rachael Elizabeth Hatten Rose.

Carlin was a man who never met a stranger. His warm and welcoming nature endeared him to everyone he encountered. He had a great passion for automobiles, dedicating much of his time to buying, selling, restoring, driving, and collecting cars and trucks. This love for vehicles was complemented by his deep faith; he treasured his relationship with the Lord and found great joy in the company of his beloved dogs, Maggie and Suzzy.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joyce Goldstein Rose; his sister, Nancy Lee Rose Bevis; his nephew, Charles "Chuck" Douglas Rose, Jr.; and many dear friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Charles Douglas Rose, Sr.

A funeral service to celebrate Carlin's life will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at Henry Funeral Home in Staunton with Pastors Hurley Short and Paul Campbell officiating. 

Interment will follow at Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton.
