July 13, 1949 — April 28, 2024
Louis K. Carns, 74, of Clearfield passed away on Sunday, April 28, 2024 at his home.

Mr. Carns served with the US Marines in Vietnam. He was a Lance Corporal with the E Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, 3rd Marine Division.

He retired from the National Guard as a First Sergant.
Louis worked at the Clearfield Armory for the Department of Military Affairs in the maintenance department. He was known as a "junker" and collected many, many items as his favorite hobby. He also enjoyed sitting on his front porch swing and spending time with his family. Louie was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and loved to say one of his famous catchphrases, "How bout them Cowboys?!"
He was a member of the Hyde Volunteer Fire Company, Clearfield Fire Department, and Old Town Sportsmen's Club.
