Carlos Loudin, Jr., known simply as “Junior” by many, of Summersville, WV, peacefully passed away on March 5, 2026, at the age of 86. He was born on March 5, 1940, in Arlington, WV, to Carlos and Ona (Potts) Loudin.
He is survived by his wife, Judy, whom he married on June 15, 1968. Junior is also survived by his children, Sid (Kellie) Loudin, Sherry (Scott) Thouvenin, Vickie (Scott) Strong, and Brenda (Don) Detweiler; his grandchildren, Brandon (Jessica), Amanda, Brianna (Matt), Natalie, Abbey (Austin), Christopher (Carlee), Curtis (Amber), and Chandra (Alec); and great-grandchildren, Peyton, Paizlie, Olen, Brently, Paxtyn, Colin, Zara, Aidan, Lydia, Ezra, Camden, and Stryker; brother, Allen (Buck); and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Donald and Darrell; sister, Carolyn; and great-grandson, Luca James.
Carlos Jr. proudly served in the Army from August 1958 through August 1961 and was very fond of that time. He drove a bread truck for a short time; however, he spent the majority of his career working in the oil and gas field for various companies.
He loved the outdoors, hunting, four-wheeler riding, traveling, and visiting with family and friends. He had a way of making everyone feel like they were a part of the family.
A special thank you is extended by the family to Peyton Hospice House in Lewisburg, WV, and Kanawha Hospice Care for their great care of Junior.
The family will receive friends at the Heavner & Cutright Funeral Chapel on Monday, March 9, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the funeral hour, with Pastor Kevin Cutright officiating. Interment will follow in the Rock Cave Cemetery where the Upshur County Honor Guard will conduct military honors.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any hospice organization of your choice.
