ROY CARTER Obituary
ROY EDWARD CARTER JR, a beloved son, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend, passed away on April 3, 2025, at the age of 47. He was born on March 8, 1978, and was known for his outgoing and friendly personality, making a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.
Roy was much more than just a cherished member of his family; he was also a man of God and an active member of Concord Church. His faith played a significant role in his life, guiding him in his everyday actions and interactions with others. Roy was passionate about life and had a special enthusiasm for firearms, serving as a gun instructor and sharing his knowledge with many eager learners.
In addition to his interests in firearms, he enjoyed playing games such as pool, darts, dominoes, and skip-bo, frequently engaging with friends and family in friendly competition. His ability to connect with others and make them feel valued was one of his most admirable qualities, and he will be missed deeply by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
