A Cabarrus County native, Carl was born April 22, 1927, the second son of the late Moses Dwight Kluttz and Georgia Eldora Jane Barringer Kluttz of Mt. Pleasant. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 61 years, Mary Lee Yount Kluttz, who passed away on December 14, 2012.

Simultaneously, and until he was 90 years old, Carl farmed, raising cows, pigs and hay. Survivors left to cherish his memory are three daughters, Carol K. Moffitt (Charlie) of Kannapolis, Martha K.
