Carter used to go to my school, I never really talked to him but I know he was a good kid the day he died I remember that everyone was crying. He had to be really special!

i remember one time in my 7th period carter told the teacher i had a nice voice after asking to go get water :) i will never forget that, thank you carter #LLC 

My prayers are with you and all of the family my heart is broken. Remembering his sweet smile 

My heart is so sad.  My prayers are with the family.  May God continue to comfort and lift you.

 I was deeply saddened by the sudden and tragic loss of your son, grandson, nephew, and cousin.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!  May God comfort you, strengthen you, and grant you peace.

Carter and I hit it off at a very young age, at the Jones Family Reunion. He was always taller than me but it made no difference,we just had fun crawling under the tables. I never forget him. Actually he and I were the same age. 

Dear Colby,
         We were stunned to hear the tragic news about Carter.  May you find comfort in loving memories, strength in the support of those who care, and hope in each new day. Please know we are thinking of you and praying for you and your family every minute.
Sincerely,

I know Carter lived a very short life but I know he left his mark in this world. God had better plans for him. It gives me comfort to know that he is with his cousin Lauren, his grandmother and past relatives who will welcome him. 
I pray that God will continue to keep his parents and family in his loving arms as they journey through this pathway we call, “life”.
We are all here to support you in every way. God bless you all and may Carter’s memories be a blessing always. 

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. May God keep you all wrapped in his  loving arms. Love and support each other. I love you my family. 

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love you all!

Carter was loved by many, he will truly be missed! Caters love for basketball has landed him on the Best, and most Amazing Team...God's Team and I can picture his smile and doing what he loved most-running , dribbling and shooting  his ball!! My condolences to Colby, Albo and the Jones Family...May Carter rest in peace... Heaven has gained another beautiful Angel..Amen ( Teresa, Tim Brown) 

I spent a great deal of time at RL Brown where Carter and 3 of my grandchildren attended elementary school.  He was in my granddaughter Reagan's class and I knew him as a soft spoken, gentle and sensitive boy.  I was amazed by his size but then I am only 4'11".  The grief has to be unimaginable and I want to wish healing to all Carter's family and friends.  May he live forever in the hearts of those who loved him.

Linda, Amber, Bill and I (the Prices) will miss seeing Carter at the beach house with his slow but graceful walk back and forth along the driveway.  Memories as he grew and watching him play in the pool from my balcony. He will be missed...

Love always Bill and Linda Price

We affectionately knew him as Cater “Wasabi” Jones because of his all time favorite place to dine. He would come to school on Mondays with so much excitement  to inform us of his weekend visit to the Japanese Steakhouse.  He was truly a gentle giant with a heart that was even bigger. He showed everyone kindness and love and we are better teachers for having taught him. He was truly loved by his peers and the staff at All Saints. May Carter’s memories be a blessing to us all. With love, Mrs. Brenda



Carter was a beloved nephew and cousin with a loving and gentle soul. 

I remember our family reunion in Atlanta.  He wanted to go on the glass elevator and go to the top. I am scared of heights but I told him I would go with him.  I hugged the wall and  he would look back to see if I was ok. He had a smile that  could light  up the world. He will be missed . Praying for everyone. 

Biggest heart and smile. He was very much loved by everyone he touched. 

Carter was a beloved cousin and nephew. He had a big smile and big heart. He will be very much missed. I'm sure he is giving Grandma Gillumn lots of hugs right now. 

Sending lots of love to the Jones family, we know this is a tough time. We have Faith you will remain strong.


Love,
The Randolph family 

What an amazing young man! I'll never forget how protective he was over his mom and little sister. I'll never forget watching his basketball games and his passion for the sport. It seems so unfair to have to say goodbye so soon but the promise at Revelation 21:3,4 will soon be fulfilled. My dear friend Colby and Alan and the entire Jones family my continued prayers are with you all. I love you guys.
