James "Crow" Carrico

Saturday was Crow's birthday and Tuesday will be my birthday. It is hard to believe he is not here to give me a hard time about growing older. We were born in the same town, same hospital, same month only one year and three days apart. We grew up living about 10 miles away form each other. He will be always special to me. A cousin and a friend. I have fond and funny memories of a special guy I loved very much.

My deepest heartfelt condolences at the loss of your loved one. It's a very difficult time. Support each other, love each other and stay connected. Hold fast to your memories for they are precious, more so every day. Keeping you all in my prayers, Tricia McFerran Round Rock Police Department

CROW, A CHILDS BEST FRIEND AND A GREAT GUY THAT I AM GLAD TO CALL MY FRIEND AS WELL

Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends. He made Nicoles hunting trip to Texas VERY special!

Leigh & Family, My deepest sympathy to your family!! Crow was a big part of Hunt of a Lifetime!!! What he did for our youngsters can never be measured on earth. God will be holding a special place in heaven for him & his own special Angels (the kids he's helped) will be waiting to escort him in to a heavenly Hunting Grounds. God Bless Your Family in the months to come. God Bless Tina Pattison

Leigh, I'm so sorry for your loss. I 'am in total shock. I worked with "Crow" on suppling him rifles for the Children with Hunt of a Lifetime & Texas Outdoor Child. He always had a big heart for the children and so great to work with. I will always remember "CROW" and I will smile. Please except my deepest condolences. Gold Bless, Cathy Hale

Leigh, i am so sorry for your loss.we always enjoyed having ya'll in the shop.Crow will be missed.The next days will not be easy.please try to take strength from the fact that he is where he can still look after some of those great young hunters that preceded him Gary broach Rhodes Taxidermy

Leigh, we are very sorry for you loss. Crow was one of the finest people I knew. He was also one of the finest law enforcement officers I knew. We will miss him.

James's work on our earth is done... Crow helped so many kids on their journeys to heaven as well as those who stayed with their illnesses. Guess God is calling him home to continue to help those that have passed before him and others. James "Crow" is sitting beside God right now doing what he does best... Helping others... I will miss his big heart. What a man and what a legacy he has left behind.

Shortly after Crow and Leigh got settled in Round Rock, Sarah started receiving text messages from an Austin (512) number on her cell phone. I could not figure out who it was, and the messages were the typical "friends forever" type emails. One night, after she received such a message, I called the number they were coming from and asked "Why are you sending these messages to my teenage daughter, and just who are you?" The voice on the other end said, "Crow". Crow's first concern in life was children. Through Hunt of A Lifetime and Texas Outdoor Child, he made many dreams come true. Back in 2004 or 2005, I was preparing to take Sarah on her first quail hunt. A weekend hunt with her Paw Paw and Daddy. Crow asked what she would be shooting and I told him the year before (her fist dove hiunt) she shot a 20 gauge single shot that my nephew started with, but it left its mark on her. He gladly offered the use of a 28 gauge single shot that he kept just for an occasion like this. Well, as it turned out, Crow gave Sarah her first gun. Although she now shoots deer rifles and larger bore shotguns, the 28 gauge is the most precious thing to her. Only the best of friends would give the gift of a first gun to any child. And because of this gift, Sarah's interest in hunting has been maintained. This year she shot her first deer. It was a small buck that we mistakened for a doe. I myself have never shot a deer, and knew nothing about cleaning one. Although he was not there physically, Crow stayed on the phone with me until I was through cleaning it. He was so happy to be a part of it, even if it was just giving direction by phone. Leigh, Crow's body may have died, but his spirit will live forever in the hearts of many. Love and Prayers Pete, Cathy and Sarah

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family.

Leigh, my prayers are with you and the family during your time of loss. Crow was a true friend to all who knew him. I truly treasure the time i got to spend with him when we worked together at the sheriff's office. He will live forever in my heart and the hearts of all who knew him. May the Lord give you peace and comfort in the days to come.

Christy and Family, Jimmy and Ihave fond memories of Crow..you are in our prayers

Find comfort in the Lord Jesus. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

I will never forget all the memories of Gabi and I with her Dad. Gabi, I love you and am truely sorry for your loss. He will be missed so very much. I Love You.

Never in my dreams did I think I would have so many friends, and family in Texas. Crow had a dream to help kids in need, and no one in this world could have made Jason's dream come true like he did.The sparkle in his eye was just as bright as any child he ever came in contact with. Every time I think of Jas I think of Crow.My heart is heavy but I am so thankful to have had the chance to be a part of his life. Oh by the way you are still stuck with me, love ya Bettie and Craig

My best friend Crow My best friend Leigh Never to be forgotten Sincere thanks for everything Later 141 Elaine

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Crysti, I am so sorry for your Loss, Daddies are hard to let go of, My thought and Prayers are with you and your family.

At a time like this, we know there just isn't anything that can be said that is going to heal the pain of losing Crow...your loving husband; your best friend and strongest supporter; and, such a wonderful friend to all who knew him. Crow was a good man who never met a stranger and had a such a positive influence on so many. There are young people in our community that probably would have served jail time had Crow not cared enough to give them the kind of guidance they needed at a difficult time in their young lives.We know that you have so many precious memories of your life together and hope that you will find comfort in them and in the love and support that you have from your friends in Bevil Oaks and across the country. You will continue to be in our prayers and thoughts.

Crow will be greatly missed... not only was he a friend to so many of us in Bevil Oaks and elsewhere but he was a inspiration and gave many people friendship help and encouragement. His sense of humor is something I will always cherish. Crow you were a blessed friend to my family and myself and I will never forget you... fly high my friend

Leigh and family, What a tremendous loss! I have learned so much from both of you. You gave all!! Thank you for all the wounderful memories and words of wisdom in my moving from Canada to Texas! Always in my heart!! Thanks for all you did for my family, you are really a gem! Rest my dear friend you have earned the wings you so greatly deserve. Until we see each other again!! Loved and missed dearly. The Canadian

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Megan and family, I am so sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. I am keeping you in a little corner of my heart during this time. Mrs. S.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that he was a wonderful man, dad, and friend and will be greattly missed. Be strong and always remember to put your Faith in God and if he leads you to it then he will lead you through it.

Leigh, It took a big man to house such a big heart. If you broke the law he could be quite intimidating but those of us who had the good fortune to get to know him found that Crow certainly had no shortage of heart, love and kindness. As a lawman he not only was the guardian of the community but a friend to all he met and a surrogate father to a lot of the kids around here. His(and your) assistance to the Fire Department was always prompt, professional and sorely needed. I was always glad to see that blue truck coming up the road and to hear your voice on the radio. Our thoughts and prayers have always been with you and will only be more so now.

Dear Crysti, Gabby, and family; I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Crow. He was a good guy, and he was always there for his kids. I remember growing up that he was such a fun kinda dad!!! He was so much fun to just be around, and you could tell, he really loved his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you deal with such a difficult time in your lives. with love, Clint and Robyn Merrill Underhill

I am James' cousin Cathy. All my cousins knew me as Beebee when I was little. I am one of Helen Willis daughters, which was James' dad Hurbert sister. I am sorry that over the year we have lost touch with most of our extended family. I remember James when we would go visit Ma and Pa Carrico in Amherst TX. He was 4 years older then me, so to him I'm sure I was just a silly little kid. I have a lot of fond memories of the visits and I always thought cousin James was cool. I am sorry for his families loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

There aren't words enough to say how much you mean to me...Thank you for being my "big brother"...for keeping all my secrets, for telling me yours, for telling me when I was wrong and defending me when you thought I was right. Thank you for your shoulder when I needed it and for letting me be your's.. Thank you for your laughter...I love to hear you laugh...Thank you for every minute we spent together as kids and growing up...Thank you for being you...I love you and I miss you so much...

Hello, my name is Katy, sadly, you do not know me but James Hubert was my cousin. My mom was Helen Carrico-Willis. I was only 13 the last time we all came to Amherst to see my grandparents, Katy & Charile Carrico, but I do remember going to Uncle Hubert's house. James was there and I remember his laughter. He sounded just like Pa Carrico to me and he looks very much like my brother, Sam. James Hubert ...that's what everyone called him back then :)... showed us how to talk on Uncle Huberts Ham radio. We had such fun that summer trying to make up for so many lost years. The memories are few for me, but Mom always shared so much about everyone so I feel like we were all very close. She had so many wonderful stores to tell. I can tell he was a very special man, by the words shared here in this memorial page. Please know you are all in our thoughts and in our prayers in your loss. We pray peace and blessings to you all. In God's Katy Laulo

I am going to miss you brother. You touched so many lives in this world in which none will be forgotten. I thank you for the many funny stories, Nascar talks, and everything you did for my family in times of need. There is a big void in my life without you that can never be filled. God Bless You and LIVE LARGE! As you taught me, it's never "goodbye" so I will "see you later" my friend. Love you. Daren

Leigh, We are so sorry to hear about Crow. He was a pleasure to talk to when we would see him around Bevil Oaks. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

We Love you

Leigh, you are in my thoughts and prayers....Crow was such a great asset to Bevil Oaks as well as a true friend. I was thinking of ya'll not too long ago, and wished Crow had been around for me to talk to him about a few things,boy was he a good listener!!! I will always cherish the memories and pep talks he gave. Love, Shandra

Crow was such a good guy. We really liked him and will miss him. We know your loss is hard to bear. Please accept our sympathy and prays.

Our hearts were just broken when we heard about Crow. We both have many fond memories of Crow from when he worked at the S.O. and will always cherish them. Crow was just one of those people that you liked the from the minute you meet him, and you could see right through to his big ole heart! Leigh, you and the girls will be in our prayers and thoughts as you go through this difficult time. We pray that God will give you peace and strength. Nancy and Anson Neel

Leigh, I am so very saddened to hear about the passing of my friend "Crow". Losing him is like losing a member of my own family. I will always have great memories of him and the many hours we spent visiting at the fire station. Thanks for sharing him with us. "Chief"- BOFD

He was a true and loyal friend to us and he's touched our lives in such a special way. He's going to be missed so much. We're all here for you! We Love you! The Hignett, Brocato, & Jones Families

Leigh, the Neill family extends our condulences and offers our prayers to Crow your family. Crow was our first contact with HOAL. He was instrumental in making my son Zachary's hunting dream become a reality. I still remember him saying "our paycheck is the smile on his face." Well, Crow is still getting his paycheck whenever Zach talks about his hunt.God Bless!

Leigh I want you to know that I thought the world of Crow. He had a heart that was ten times his size. I really enjoyed all the trips that we all took togather, even making the road side stops. It was a great plaesure working with him both as a police officer and with HOAL. As I have walked through this old world it was made alot more plaesureable making that trip with him as a friend. Tammie and I will surley miss Crow.

I will always love you and remember all the things you taught me, you were more than just a Friend, you were a counsler, defender, and always available no mattter how big or small the need. You and Leigh were like parents always loving me and caring when I needed it most. Susan - Lil'Bit
