Carter Everett Wilson

Born on October 28th, 2000, Carter was raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He graduated St. Paul Christian Academy and Brentwood Academy, and was a participant in JV hockey and varsity football. He was a sophomore at Auburn University and member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity.

As Carter aged in his young life, he developed a passionate sense of adventure and a true admiration to see the world. He traveled with Moondance Adventures to the Big Wild Montana, Northern Lights Alaska, and Iceland. In addition, Carter visited Belize, Mexico, England, Scotland and Greece with family and friends. His most treasured memories were summers fishing and golfing in Pawley’s Island, S.C. and snow skiing with his family and friends. He was venturesome and always willing to try something new.

Aside from his enthusiasm for travel, Carter will forever be remembered for his contagious love and affection he gave for all who shared the pleasure of knowing him. He would look to visit home as frequently as possible during his time at Auburn. Despite the lengthy trip, he remained unfazed with the contagious smile on his face when he walked in the door back home in Nashville. Carter’s presence was truly appreciated by all around him. Though he never sought the spotlight, Carter always had a witty and clever sense of humor that had the ability to captivate all who listened with his amazing stories. Carter’s company was a divine light to all around him, and his presence in the world was a gift to all.

Most importantly, Carter loved his family more than anything else in the world. Throughout his whole life he expressed unconditional love for his parents and his two siblings. The unbreakable bond they shared was special, and all the memories they made and the adventures they had together will always be remembered. Carter treasured his family over everything, and his beautiful soul will never be forgotten.
