Tavone Dakota Carman

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

- James 4:14

Tavone' Dakota Carman was born on February 9, 1992, in Mayfield, Kentucky, to Franscisco Starks and the late Patricia Carman. From an early age, Tavone' was known for his vibrant spirit, infectious energy, and ability to light up any room he entered. He truly lived life to the fullest - embracing every moment with laughter, love, and a fearless heart.

On November 5, 2025, at the age of 33, Tavone' departed this earthly life in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Though his time here was short, the impact he made on those who knew and loved him will last a lifetime.

He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Patricia Carman; his siblings, Mishawn, Kentrell, and Catori; and his grandmother, Sara Ann. Tavone' has now joined them and many other cherished relatives who welcomed him home at the gates of Heaven.

Tavone' leaves behind a legacy of love and memories to be cherished by his daughters, Amarie and Aireonna Goff; his father, Franscisco Starks; his siblings, Cortez Carman, Divari Carman, Zavea Carman, TeArron Sherrill, Reonn Stubblefield, Tavaras McCarthy, Brooklyn Woolfolk, Frantasia Starks, Amiya Hill, and Tavorion Starks; his grandmother, Terrie Sue Hamilton; and his grandfathers, John Powell, Jr. and Tommy Hayes.

He will also be remembered fondly by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and homies who will forever hold him close in their hearts.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."

- Revelation 21:4

Tavone's presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to shine through the love he shared and the lives he touched.
