there isn't anything my grandpa wouldn't do for the people he loves. what i would give to hear him say "hallelujah" one more time or to hear "hey darling". i am thankful for the 31 years you have been a part of my life; thank you for always speaking life. speaking to him the week of father's day & him being well enough to speak back to me, is an everlasting memory. i'm so glad we had that moment. i love you always grandpa, rest in glory.

Thank you Daddy for the countless life lessons, the talks, the laughs, the love and everything between. You even taught me how to work on cars right down to changing brake pads. You said “I can pay to have them done, I can do them for you or I can teach you to do it for yourself.” You are the epitome of what “half man half amazing” looks like. I guess it was selfish of me to not ever want you to go even though I knew your body had enough. So take your rest. I have the best memories to hold me until we meet again.
Love you always!

To the Carter family,
Our families crossed paths more than 50 years ago where we lived across the street from each other in Butzbach , Germany, while serving in the U.S. Army. At the end of our tour there, we were in need of a place to stay and John and his family graciously opened their home to our family until our departure back to the United States. That kindness was never forgotten and created a lifelong friendship throughout the years. Although we did not see one another often, when we did it was as though we had just seen each other yesterday. The relationship was so close that our children referred to them as “Uncle John” and “Aunt Burt”. Uncle John will be remembered as a man of great integrity, loyalty, honor, love and kindness. Most especially, he will be remembered for his smile. He was a dedicated family man, one who led by example. He will be greatly missed! This is not goodbye. This is until we meet again!

The Soldier and His Sailor 💜 I feel your loss everywhere but I will always remember your love and the memories we share. Not a day goes by that I’m not thankful for you being my Papa. Until next time...
Grace, my deepest heartfelt condolences to you and your family on John’s transition to eternity. Although we will miss him, we can celebrate his life because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We will see him again one day. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Brother John always had a firm handshake and warm greeting. We missed him when he moved to Charlotte. He has his reward with Jesus. We'll see you soon. Soon & Very Soon we are going to see the King. Wayne Lawhorn
It is with great sadness to hear about the loss of your loved one. Mr. Carter and the Carter Family are like family to me. We went to the same church when I was a child. That is where I met my best friend, Sandra. My Grandfather and Mr. Carter were on the Deacon Board at First Union Baptist Church. He reminded me so much of my grandfather, kind, sweet but very strong minded. He took great care of his family and they knew that they were loved. When I would visit, he always made me feel like I was part of the family. You are in a better place now. There’s no more pain and sorrow. I will definitely miss your smile. Rest In Peace Mr. Carter.
My deepest sympathy to Grace and all of John’s family. What a wonderful man of God! I will always remember the excellent example he set for all of those that he worked with at Faith Landmarks Ministries. I am so glad to know that I will see him again in heaven with Jesus❤️
I am deeply saddened by the loss of my Uncle Jack. Aunt Alberta, Kurt, Sandy, Keisha and Clara, may God give you the peace and comfort that you seek that during these difficult times. Uncle Jack’s laughter and smile and strength will never be forgotten.

I remember spending the night with Sandra & Keisha during High School. Mr. John Carter has always shown us the strength of what a real father figure should look like, along with their loving Mother. As he entered the kitchen for breakfast, we could all feel the presence of what a TRUE dad really is. He has always kept a sweet smile. I send out my condolences. ANYONE in the family can contact me during these hard times. You will be missed Mr. John Sr.

To Keshia Wyche and family. My condolence to you and the passing my Mr Carter. I pray for comfort and peace for you. The memories of Mr Carter will forever be etched in my heart. He welcomed me into your family and I grateful for the kind words and encouragement that he always shared. I am grateful for seeing what a good father is because of the love he showed his children and how a man leads his family. Your father was a good roll model and I appreciate that. I thank Mr Carter for making you Keshia and raising you to be the beautiful person you are. Rest is peace Mr Carter.
Thank you for being such a great Dad. I am glad I was able to spend more time with you these past few years. You were always there for everyone, making sure we were doing just fine and I wanted to give you back the same. Your love for your family was unwavering. You can rest now, free of pain. Thank you for providing the things I couldn’t provide for my children and sometimes myself. Your grandchildren will never forget how giving and caring you were. You always said don’t tell anybody and I didn’t. Till we meet again...I will always love you, Sandy
