Carl Couch Saint of Arab passed peacefully on September 12, 2026 at the age of 81 years.
Carl was raised in the Greenbriar Cove community and attended Arab High School. He was a Contractor and worked most of his life in the building and remodeling business. Carl was a man of varied interest but he found joy as an avid collector of antiques and never passed a chance to barter or trade. He had a lifelong commitment to his faith and savored telling stories from the Bible. Carl and Peggy were married just shy of 50 years.
Carl is survived by his wife, Peggy Brooks Saint; daughter, Carla Saint Scrimpshire (David); son, Phillip Brooks Hughes; sister, Margarette Saint; Grandchildren, Stephanie Garza-Webb, Jeremy Garza, and Anthony Hughes; four great- grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.
