Quincy Lee Carter Sr.

Quincy Lee Carter was born on February 2, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan to the union of Arvee Sr. and Savada Carter. He was raised in Marianna, Arkansas and there he professed a hope in Christ at a young age.
Quincy moved to Toledo, OH at the age of 16 and attended Jesup W. Scott High School. Soon after, he became gainfully employed at Chrysler. He also worked at Interlake Steel Company and Haughton Elevator Company. He eventually retired from Chrysler with over 22 years of service. He had a knack for working with his hands and the ability to create and make repairs with little to no formal training. Throughout his life he had extensive experience in plastering, welding and auto mechanics. In his early years he was successful in his endeavors in real estate, property management and various community organizations. Quincy loved to ride on his motorcycle around the city. He was one of the founding fathers of the Toledo Night Riders Motorcycle Club and the leader of various hunting trips.
Quincy was proud to come from a very large, blended family from the south and in the north. He had love and compassion for everyone and was not afraid to show it. He was always willing to help anyone near or far at a moment's notice.
He was well loved and adored by everyone and was affectionally known by many names; 'Son' to his family and close friends, 'Deacon Carter' to his church family, 'Doc' to his motorcycle buddies, 'Unkie' to his nieces and nephews and 'Poppa' to his grand and great grandchildren.
In 2012, Quincy re-dedicated his life to Christ and soon became an ordained deacon. This appointment was his most proudest acknowledgement as he served faithfully under the guided leadership of Dr. Michael Carr at Temple of Praise Church.
If you knew Quincy, you would know that he was known all over the north and south for his passionate singing and he would bellow out a song every chance he got. Besides his hobbies of fishing, gardening and barbecuing, what gave him the most joy was his children, grands and great grands. Oh, how he loved to tell them stories of his life in the south and teach them things. He made sure to nurture them and guide them in the right way. He will always be remembered for his love and generosity.
