Michael Carter Obituary
Michael Alan Carter
He was preceded in death by his great-grandfather, Clifford Maybee; his grandmother, Della Carter; and great-grandparents, Ernie and Dorothy Fisher.
He will forever be remembered for his love for his daughter Aiylah Carter, fast cars, and his close relationship with his mother Lori Devier.
His father Ralph Carter will greatly miss his times fishing with Michael.
He leaves behind his precious daughter, Aiylah Carter; mother, Lori; father, Ralph; and loving brother, Matthew Carter; and a younger sister, Faith Carter; as well as Heather Weaver, his daughter's mother and the love of his life.
Michael will be greatly missed by the many friends and family left behind, who knew Michael's capacity for compassion and love for those who knew him.
Michael also leaves behind a large extended family; his grandparents, Don and Joanne Fisher; his great-grandma, Alma Maydee; including his uncle, Jay and long time love Trina; two aunts, Shelly and Tami; as well as several cousins.
A memorial service will be held at Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home, 804 State Avenue, Marysville, WA 98270 on June 12, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.
In keeping with Michael's wishes, there has been a Memorial Trust Account set up for his daughter Aiylah Carter; donations can be made at any Chase Bank branch or via PayPal. All checks should be made out directly to Aiylah M. Carter and PayPal payments should be made to [email protected].
Michael's mother would also like to thank all of those people that have expressed their sorrow and deepest sympathies by posting on his Facebook and MySpace walls and with phone calls and kind words. You may send her your condolences and, if you wish to make donations to Aiylah's trust, by sending a card or note to:

I just want to say happy birthday. I know I'm a little late, but it's better late then never. You would have been 39 years old this year on your birthday and I always wonder what you would be doing right now if you were still here with us. I still miss you everyday. I don't think that will ever go away. I will always love you Then. Now. and Forever

Its been almost a year since I seen you. It hurts so much knowing I can't see you when I feel like it. I can't look into your blue eyes and tell you how much I love you and want to be with you. And how much you mean to me. I can't hold you in my arms and tell you everything is going to be ok. I really wish you were here to hold me and tell me everything is going to be ok. I cry myself to sleep every night because I just can't believe your gone. I miss you.

Mike,
The day I heard you passed I could not believe it. I really did not believe it. Growing up with you I truly considered you like a older brother. Hanging out in the garage laughing being young and having fun. Snowboarding, The Blazer, The ol green chevy luv. Coming over and eating dinner with your family. I could go on and on with great memories. I am very lucky to have known you as good as I did. I wish I could have known the future cause I would have made it a priority not to drift apart. Sorry I did not make it to the service I do not think I could have held it together. I really wanted to avoid any notion that you were no longer with us. You will never be forgotten brother.

It has been months since your passing and I have missed you so much everyday since. There isn't a time in the day your not in my thoughts. There is never a day I dont go without crying because the thought of never seeing you again or feeling your touch or looking into your blue eyes kills me everyday. The day you left, you took apart of me with you. You and I will be together again. I love you michael alan carter. I always have and always will. This isn't a good bye but see you soon when its my time.

To My DAD
If I only had 5 minutes the day you passed I would have had the
time to tell you all the things I needed to say.
I never got to tell you how much you mean to me, or that you
were a great dad and a great man.
The last time I talked to yhou I wish I would have known. I would
have said I LOVE YOU and stayed with you longer.
If I only had 5 minutes the morning you passed away I'd give you
one last hug so tight and see your big smile. I'd tell you that I don't
think I could live without you, not even for awhile.
I'd kiss your cheeks and take your hand and tell you that I'll miss
you more than you will ever know.
But you were gone so quickly one last car ride you'd take before
you even knew it you were standing at heavens gate.
Now GOD has called you its time to get your wings. To leave this
life behind you and enjoy all of heavens beautiful things.
So wait for me in heaven DAD! Don't let me come alone. The day
the angels come for me please be there to bring me home.
****************************************
We thought of you with love today, but that's nothing new. We
thought about you yesterday and days before that too!
We think of you in silence er often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part
God may have you in his keepings but we'll always have you in our hearts

When did I give you the key to my heart?
I love how you look! I like how you speak!
I live for the touch of your hand on my cheek.
I love that you trust me.
I love that your're kind and honest enough to
say what is on your mind.
I love that you are silly
I love that you are wise.
I love how the world looks when seen through
your eyes.
I love all wonder and mystery of you.
I love that you're someone who loves me back too.
I'm so glad your my friend.

To Mom From Matthew
I don't know if you knew this or not, but I never believed in GOD until
Michael's death crazy huh?
I know deep down that Michael is my "Gurdian Angel!!"
He's watching over me and you as I write this ans as you read this.
GOD is great. I know now that GOD has plans for me. GOD would
never do this to us unless he has big plans. That saying "what doesn't
kill us makes us stronger. If that ain't the truth.....For so long my heart
has been so empty, so blue, and cold. I can actually feel my brother
in me at times. He gives me motivation. I haven't had motivation in
years. He me personality, he gives me hope! I haven't felt these type
of emotions in years. That's why I know 100% sure he's right here
with me. That's what makes me finally the man that I am becomming.
Stay strong mom he is with you too!!

BROOTHERS
Brothers are someone you can count on to be there.
Brothers are someone that you can trust.
My brother is a KING among men.
My brother is my closest friend.
Bother's won't stab you in the back.
Bothers will always care.
You can joke with them, and know that they aren't serious.
you can tell your brothers anything.
Even your darkest secrets, and know he'll keep them.
They are the ones you want at your wedding.
They are the first to know about your child.
They are the first to know your grief, your joys.
They will always offer advice, even if it is wrong.
My brother was you.
You are my greatest ally.
THANKS for being my BROTHER.
we miss seeing your wonderful smile.

Mike... I cried today, As I heard that you had pass away!
Despite as much as I loved having you here, It was in God's plan for you to go.
An amazing man I once knew; is now at peace & allowed to finally rest.
God broke my heart to prove... he only takes the very best!
Sending lots of love as you look down upon us... R.I.P My Dear Friend!
I will miss you always, Christina

You are so deeply missed and my heart breaks thinking about everything that we had yet to do in our lives. But I know that you are with our Lord and He is keeping you safe and giving you the hugs and love that I would be giving you today tomorrow and always and forever. I wear a special heart that was made for me around my neck and kiss you everyday alot! You are always with me. I Love and Miss you more than any words can explain. LOVE YOU MOM

Mike, although we hadn't spent much time together the past couple years, it always felt like we just saw each other the other day when we did see one another here & there. And I have many good memories of the times we did hang out. I've told this before but it bears repeating: You are a good guy Mike & I will always remember & appreciate that about you just as I always have. Thanks for the many times you cheered me up when I had almost lost all hope for humanity. I still & always will miss you friend.
