Carter was full of life, laughter, and imagination. He loved playing Army—outside for hours or in his video games—and dreamed big about the future. Summers were spent playing football, camping, building things, reading, and simply being wherever family and friends were gathered. He was happiest surrounded by the people he loved.
Carter had a goofy sense of humor and a gift for making others smile. Whether working outside, joking around, devouring a pot of spaghetti on a camping trip, or playing music in school band, he brought joy to everyday moments.
He was a beloved son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend—cherished deeply by all who knew him. He touched many lives in his short time here and was growing into an incredible young man.
Carter left this world too soon, but his laughter, spirit, and love will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him
