Deacon Carlyle always had a joyful spirit. “TO KNOW HIM, WAS TO LOVE HIM.” He loved to laugh and have fun. There was never a bad time with Carlyle because he was always just that happy. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend always kind to and loving to all whom he met.

He attended public schools in Florence, South Carolina, and graduated from West Florence High School in 1974.

Deacon Carlyle LeSane united with Macedonia Holiness Church in the early 1970s, where he served faithfully until his health began to decline. He was a dedicated active member serving in many capacities over a span of more than 40 years. He loved the Lord. He loved serving the Lord. He upheld many duties willingly including Head Deacon, Usher, Trustee, and Choir Member. He was a true believer in God. Even during illness, he continued to keep his faith and made sure he was in church serving God.

Carlyle loved watching Football and was a committed Pittsburgh Steelers fan in his leisure time. In his spare time, Carlyle also had a passion for cooking most of all and was great at it. He enjoyed the outdoors and working in the yards. Throughout his working days, Carlyle was a “Jack of all trades.” If he could not fix it, he would tear it up and fix it back the way he thought it should be. Duct tape and spray paint were his handy tools. Carlyle was a hardworking man. He was employed and retired from Carpenter Technology in 2001.
