CHRISTOPHER SCOTT CARNEGIE

Funeral services for Christopher Scott Carnegie, 41, of Rayville, LA will be 
held 2:00 PM, Monday, October 7, 2013 at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, 
Rayville with Rev. Steve Ballard and Rev. Tommy Simpkins officiating. Burial 
will follow in the Bethel Cemetery, Holly Ridge under the direction of Brown-
Holley Funeral Home, Rayville.

Christopher was born November 5, 1971 in Natchez, MS and passed away Friday, 
October 4, 2013 in West Monroe.

Christopher is preceded in death by his parents, Scottie and Yvonne Carnegie; 
sister, Courtney Brooke Carnegie; maternal grandparents, Mary and Thurman 
Westbrook; and paternal grandparents, Odessa and Eugene Carnegie.

Survivors include the love of his life wife, Jimmie Lynn Carnegie of Rayville; 
children, Zachary Gene Carnegie, Mason Scott Carnegie, and Emma Grace Carnegie 
all of Rayville; half sister, Ashley Carnegie of Monterey, LA; mother-in-law, 
Emma Wood and husband, Chuck of Vicksburg, MS; father-in-law, David Massey and 
wife, Debbie of Rayville; sister-in-law, Sharon Rogers and husband, Bennett of 
Rayville; host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; his many friends 
and all of his special friends in the oil field.

At his death, Chris was employed by H&P Drilling where he had worked for the 
last 10 years. Chris' proudest moments were the times spent with his three 
children and wife, Jimmie Lynn at his home on Davis Lake. He loved watching his 
children enjoy life and was always present at their games and other activities 
when he was home. Chris was a gentle spirit who had a deep love for his family 
who anxiously awaited his return from his job where he worked tirelessly and 
faithfully to care for his family and to also instill a strong work ethic for 
his children. Even though his trips home were brief he would still find time to 
help by contributing numerous hours to Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, where he was 
a member. His friends will reflect on his jovial laugh and constant smile, 
especially when he was with his family. There will be an empty chair at our 
family gatherings that can never be filled.

He will be sorely missed by numerous nephews, nieces, uncles, and aunts from his 
large family. Chris was always there to pitch in with any task the family needed 
and could be found regularly on networking sites where a kind comment was met 
with his testimony of his love for Christ. Chris came to Christ two years ago by 
the leadership of Bro. Harold Spillers and it was apparent in his daily life 
through the example he set for others. Those that knew Chris best could see the 
change that his new found love for Jesus Christ had made in his life. Through 
his testimony his children and wife were forever changed as they have all 
received Christ as their Saviour. Chris has most assuredly looked at the face of 
Jesus and heard "Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of 
your Lord."

Chris will be remembered as a true family man, and a man of God who was a 
shining example of the true greatness of salvation.

Pallbearers will be Mason Scott Carnegie, Nick Gibson, Todd Hough, Terry Gill, 
Jr., Chris Bass, Paul Allen, James Gill, and Jesse Jamison.

Honorary pallbearers are the Men of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church and Chris Cannon.

Visitation is 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, Sunday at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church.
