It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. John Carter, of Weems, VA, who departed this life on May 27, 2025 at the age of 51. He passed away peacefully at Memorial Regional Hospital, surrounded by loved ones.
John was born on September 2, 1973 in Washington, DC. He was deeply passionate about serving God. John completed his doctorate of theology and enjoyed ministering to the underprivileged in his community. He was a social person and loved spending time with his family and friends, especially playing games and doing crafting activities.
John is survived by his parents, Charles and Karen Carter; his sister and her husband, Katherine and Salvatore Bavuso; and their children, Matthew, Jacob, Ellie and Em Bavuso.
A memorial graveside service will be held at 2:30 pm on June 7, 2025, at White Stone Methodist Church in White Stone, VA with a reception to follow at the church. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate John's life.
