He was a former long time member of Wise First Church of God. He was a skilled gunsmith, enjoyed spending his time outdoors, and had a tenderness for animals big and small. He was a graduate of J.J. Kelly High School and a heavy equipment operator for over thirty years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Ina Carter; brother, Carlos Carter; brother, David Carter; and sister, Diana C. Mullins.

Healy and family; his longtime companion, Janet Owens, her daughter Chrissy Grisby and family; and a host of other relatives and friends.
