Carlous was born and raised in Conser, Oklahoma and was a proud member of the Choctaw Nation. He was a 1958 graduate of Heavener High School. Although he spent time away attending college at Eastern State, University of Oklahoma, Colorado State University, University of Georgia and Northeastern University and working in Oklmulgee and Wilburton, Oklahoma, and Lakeview, Georgia as a teacher, hospital administrator, and in the manufacturing business – he came back home to Heavener and Conser to raise his family and take care of his mom and dad. He served the community first as a mental health counselor and then as a local grocer (where he continued to be an open ear and listening heart those visiting the old Heavener and Wilburton IGA Grocery Stores). He retired to spend time with his grandkids and in his garden.
