I am so very sorry. I did not know the young man, but do know his loving mother Dona.
Dona, thinking of you and so sorry.
Carl Haynes was my friend! I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was a Valiant. I knew him to be a hard-working, trained music industry professional and a vital part of my band when he worked with us. His compositions hopefully will live on. The world will be less for his absence. I pray that he rests in the arms of his creator!
Carl worked with me with Vince Vance and the Valiants. I remember how much he loved to hear Robert Earl Keen. i have a friend playing drums with him and I took Carl to his show he had a great time. Please except my deepest condolences for you loss.Shane McCauley
Carl. I have so many fond memories of you over the course of my life since we were little kids. You were like a brother to me. Your absence from this world is a loss to all that knew you. I will never forget you protecting Dianne and I from Marshmallow and Juicy after the oily bag incident, Cafe 21, Shame Shame, Nobody's Fault, countless studio visits, Kenedale, Lipan, weekends at the farm listenting to you strum on your guitar and sing your newest creation, your talent, your laugh…there are so many memories and they will be kept close to my heart. You were loved and will be sorely missed. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Dona, Gary, Lu, and Dianne. I am with you in spirit. I love you all.
I remember when i first saw Carl years ago, in the DLP rehearsal halls walking quietly w/ that long straight pretty hair and wondering who he was and then finally getting to meet him and hear him playing bass w/ his band. I remember when he took me to see Steely Dan for my bday, I remember when he played w/ Nobody's fault and opened up for Jason Bonham and I remember when he lived downstairs w/Jeffrey and I always loved getting to hear him and Jeffrey a picking & grinning;which I know they are doing together up in heaven together right now. RIP Carl……you were always a good friend to me and I will miss you. ~ Cyn Ramirez
Carl was a friend of our son Jeffrey who passed of Colon cancer October 2008. Both were good muscians and that drew them together. Carl installed an AC unit in our home in (about) 2006 and did a fine job. He will be missed. Jeff and Sue Morris
Carl had been a part of my life for almost 25 years. He was a great friend to all! About the only thing I ever saw Carl run from was a tornado that dissipated just before it reached our location. Otherwise, he confronted life head-on, embracing every moment as a musical symphony. It is no wonder that he wrote such great songs as Morning Sun, Whiskey and Pills and many more. Carl only brought sunshine into my life whether partying by a poolside, rockin' on a stage, or sharing a cup of coffee and a piece of apple pie. I shall greatly miss him as the planet is a sadder place without him. Though we may not experience his pressence, I have no doubt that he is and always will be with us. May love shower all of us who are his family and friends – sincerely, Janice

Carl, I am so glad that I can say we were 'roomies' even if only a short while. You are a friend and will be missed. ps. I thought you rocked it playing with the Allman Bros. Band! Dianne, I am so sorry for your loss. You are like a sister to me, and I love you very much. I wish I could be there. Dona and Gary, and extended family of Carl, I am very sorry for your loss. Your children have long been very very good friends to me. As a parent, I can only imagine your pain. I hope that you find comfort during this time of loss. My heart is with you all. -Candice
