LEFTWICH, Caru Julian, III

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, August 19, 2009 Caru Julian Leftwich III, 41, born Aug. 30, 1967, went to be with the Lord on Aug. 15, 2009. Caru was a loving man and cherished his wife, children and mother. All who knew him loved him and for Caru no one was a stranger. He touched many hearts and for that he will truly be missed. Caru enjoyed camping and traveling with his family and friends. He served his country honorably for five and a half years as an MP in the United States Army and was a veteran of the first Gulf War. Caru is survived by his loving wife and best friend Valarie; daughters Julian (Brad) and Alice Joy; mother Johnnie Hundley; brothers James and Scott (Debbie), both of Tempe, Ariz.; nieces Tara, Gina, Natalie and Alyssa; and nephews Jimmy and Luke. He especially loved spending time with Dwight. His father, Billy Leftwich, preceded him in death. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to your favorite charity. Celebration of Life will be 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009, at St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Church, 2062 N. State Route 89, Chino Valley, with Father Fred presiding. The family requests that you join them at the American Legion, 650 E. Road 3 South in Chino Valley, following the service. Hampton Funeral was entrusted with the arrangements.
