Obituary

Franklin Alexander Carey Sr.  affectionately known as (Pint) was born in Key West, Florida on September 30, 1944 to the late George C. Carey and Mispha G. Carey. In Pint's early childhood he started his life in Christ at Cornish Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church.  He grew up in Bahama Village. Pint held many jobs throughout his life in Key West, FL. He was employed by Monroe County School District as a Bus Driver, Mosquito Control, Charlie Toppino & Sons, A & M Scooter Shop and his favorite job of them all was Monroe County Transportation Services because he loved helping the elderly in the community.

Pint was loved by so many people and gave love. He had a special love for his family and friends. He cherished the time spent with his family throughout the years. He was always willing to help a friend in need. He was sweet spirited with an infectious smile, and charismatic personality. You could find Pint telling jokes and making people laugh or smile.

On Wednesday, March 1, 2023 God saw his weariness. He answered the call because he knew God had kept his promise that he wouldn't put too much on him that he couldn't bear. Now he is resting in the arms of the Lord. Pint will always be remembered by his family and numerous friends.
