Carl R. Cain
Carl R Cain, age 79 of Quincy, died on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 in Timber Point Healthcare Center, Camp Point, IL.
He was born on February 9, 1945, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Charles and Carol Cain.
Carl is survived by his two children, Carla Houghton (Jeff) of Leesburg, Florida and David Cain (Holly) of Quincy,
as well as 5 grandchildren, Dustin Houghton (Maria) of Holland, MI, Ryan Houghton of Lexington, KY, Caylin Haxel (Blaise), Evan Cain, Paige Cain all of Quincy
and 4 great-grandchildren, Jax Houghton, Luca Houghton, Stella Haxel and Blair Haxel.
His brother Terry (Debbie) Cain, of Golden, IL survives, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.
Carl was preceded in death by his parents and several siblings.
He had a lifetime love of anything automotive, owning several cars, trucks, campers, and motorcycles over the years.
Carl lived in Florida most of his life, owning his own business. He returned to Quincy in his later years to be closer to family and worked at Quincy Transit lines.
He was a practical joker who loved to instigate trouble when his nieces were around. His quick wit and sense of humor will be missed! He was a favored uncle to Stacy Majewski, Tricia Swartzwelder and Tammy Miller, of Florida.
Cremation rites will be accorded. A Celebration of Carl’s life will take place at a later date.
Memorials may be made to the Blessing Foundation for Hospice.
Dave and Holly, thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Carl was a wonderful man. Very kid hearted and hard working man. He and I shared a love for classic cars, I remember buying a 69 GTO convertable from him when he lived in Jacksonville, one of my favorite cats. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family that he was so proud of. I might add that our grand-daughters, Kaylee Cain was one of his nurses at Timberpoint and they were close friends and talked a lot about family. She became very close to Carl. We will surely miss him. Our beloved Uncle, God Bless and Keep you.
I will miss my Uncle Carl so very much. He was a blessing in my life and such a sweet soul. His sense of humor, kind nature, and witty conversations always put a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I will never forget the time we had together and will cherish it forever. Prayers for God’s love & peace for David, Holly and the Cain family. R.I.P my dear Uncle. 🙏
Dave & Holly,
Our prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Paul & Janise
