Ronald Carter Obituary

Carter, Ronald Dale
March 26, 1948 - October 11, 2019

Ronald Dale Carter, (71), of Denver, Colorado passed away on October 11, 2019 after a short illness.

Ron was born to Earlene and Ivan Carter of Wichita, Kansas on March 26, 1948. He was married to Sandra Smith from 1970 to 1975, and Shannon (Spear) Carter from 1995 - 2019. Ron earned bachelors' and masters' degrees in Journalism from the University of Kansas and enjoyed a 50 year career in marketing and advertising with Broyles, Allebaugh & Davis, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) and the University of Denver. He loved the outdoors, where he spent many hours birdwatching, fishing, hiking and skiing. His proudest achievement and greatest love were his daughter, Katherine (Katie) Dale Carter (20), who is currently a junior at his Alma mater.

Ron is survived by Katie and Shannon, as well as siblings Steve Carter, Rebecca Palmer and Linda Wilson, sister-in-law Toni Carter, brothers-in-law Kent Carter and Scott Wilson, nieces Shannon (Wilson) Vance, Jennifer Wilson, and Georgia Carter, and nephews Charlie Wilson, Cody Palmer, and his much loved dogs Charlie and Toby, and a wide circle of cherished friends.

Dear Katie, Shannon and family of Ron's. Larry and I were saddened to hear of Ron's passing. We enjoyed talking with him about friends we had in common from his days living in Wichita.
We enjoyed sitting with him at a games of his daughter Katie and our granddaughter Katie Whittelsey. From listening to him, I could tell he adored his Katie and Shannon.
He loved living in Colorado because of the outdoors. Since we still lived in Wichita, Ks., he seemed to enjoy telling us he enjoyed the Rockies over flat Wichita. He said he missed family and friends, sometimes. He had a dry sense of humor to me.
Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your dear Dad or Ron. I hope the service for Ron is uplifting and a comfort at this still sad time.
Kelly and Larry Womack
