Karl Totzer, Jr.

Karl Totzer, Jr., 38, of Anahuac, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, August 26, 2018 in Houston, Texas. He was born on June 18, 1980 in Baytown, Texas to Linda Kay and Karl Totzer, Sr. Karl graduated from Anahuac High School in 1998 and attended college at Angelina College and Stephen F. Austin. He worked as a process operator for Exxon Mobil.

Karl was an active member of Faith Family Church of Baytown and a Freemason of the Masonic Lodge. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and alligator hunting. Karl also liked cutting hay, working on his farm equipment and playing with his tractor. He was a hard worker who liked to piddle around outside. Karl had a heavy foot and loved to drive his truck super-fast through the mud. But what he enjoyed most was spending time with his entire family. Although at times, Karl was hardheaded but was also a loving, kindhearted, polite, fun and caring friend. He was the family caregiver and wanted nothing but the best for them all. Karl was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son and friend to many and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Karl was preceded in death by his father; his maternal and paternal grandparents; and his beloved uncle, Tommy Willcox. He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his loving wife Stephanie Ainsworth Totzer; his children Chesney, Jack, Mason, Cameron and Hannah; his granddaughter Leah; his parents Kay and Pudge Willcox of Anahuac; his sister Teresa Vaughn and husband Robby of McDade and their son Robert Vaughn and wife Genese and their son Braxton; his sister Carla Tillitson and husband Jack of Anahuac and their daughter Desiree Tarkett and husband Nathan and their children Greyson and Lucas; his brother-in-law Jay Ainsworth of Mont Belvieu and his children Charlotte, Blake and Bryce; his sister-in-law Christina Bibb of Baytown and her children Layla and Liam; his sister-in-law Beth Hencke and husband Chad of Baytown and their children Kaymen and Kullan; his brother-in-law Matt Hamilton; his mother-in-law Claudia Hamilton and husband Doug of Baytown; and his father-in-law Terry Ainsworth and wife Rachelle of Rosebud; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
