Carver Ma

Carver Ma, 57, Kokomo, passed away on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at his home, after a battle with cancer. He was born in Hong Kong, on April 16, 1968, to the late Ernest and Victoria (Sparrow) Ma. He faced his illness the same way he lived his life — brave, strong, and unwavering to the end.

Carver graduated from Kokomo High School in 1987.  He enlisted in the United States Marines. He was known for his direct nature and his preference for straight truth over polite fiction. He never sugar-coated anything, and people respected him for that clarity. He loved firearms, preparedness, and strategy, and spent many years enjoying war games, tactical hobbies, and the independence that came with living life on his own terms.

Carver is survived by his adopted son Jason Irvin; sister, Carin McCameron, and brother, Carey Ma.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

A private memorial service will take place at a later date.  Shirley & Stout Funeral Homes has been entrusted with arrangements.  Messages of condolence may be left online at www.shirleyandstout.com.
