Condolences for Carter Ray Smith
Jessie am Shawn I am so sorry for the loss of Carter my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thinking of you guys everyday.
Our prayers and thoughts go to the family of Carter. We are saddened by the loss of a sweet boy and neighbor.
God bless Carter and his family. We pray for you all.
I tragically lost my 16 yr old brother years ago on November 2nd.
I understand your heart keeps beating even though it feels broken. Im so sorry you feel this pain.
“Mr. Carter” is loved by all 3 of my children. He made daycare a fun and enjoyable place to be. He is greatly missed.
We are so sorry for your loss. My son Dierks is 6 and daughter Vayda is 10 and both enjoyed Carter at Peace. Carter would always make a point to say hello to Vayda even after she stopped attending and would tag along to pick up her brother. The first thing Dierks said when he found out was that he didn’t believe it because Carter was so nice. Dierks also fondly remembers the days of playing soccer with Carter outside the church. Carter made a positive impact on both of our children. I just wanted you all to know that. Our condolences.
We are so very sorry for your loss.
Very sorry guys. Our thoughts are with you. God Bless.
We are so sorry for your loss. Walking into Peace will forever be changed knowing that Carter won’t be there. I know that I will miss hearing him telling Oakley his Paula is here.
I am so sorry for your loss. Carter was truly one of a kind. My family came to love him very much. He was a blessing to all that knew him. Your family is in my prayers. He will be missed.
To Carter’s family,
I’m sorry I am unable to attend the services to express my condolences in person. You are all in my thoughts.
Craig (Sandy’s cousin)
All three of my boys (Carter, Jackson, and Phillip) loved “Big Carter”. He was a very influential man for my boys and I am so thankful for him! My oldest would play soccer with him all the time and they would both get pretty competitive. Love to see a young man with such great morals be a role model for young boys. He will always be remembered and always missed!
Jessie and Family,
Our hearts, prayers and deepest condolences go to you and yours! Let Faith give you strength! Time is precious so continue to live life making every moment count like you have been! We are here for you! Big Hugs!
I am so very sorry for your loss of Carter. I enjoyed having him in my class this semester and will miss seeing him in the front row.
I am so sorry for your loss. Carter was quite the man. Every morning I dropped Oakley off he would smile, wave and give Oakley a little grief. He was always there for Oakley no matter what was going on and for that I am thankful. He told me a story about some kids picking on the peace kids on a field trip…Carter was quick to go and defend all the kids. And picking Oakley up was always fun, as Carter would come and mess with me saying Oakley had been bad or something. Seeing him from Junior Vikes football to the man he became was awesome. He will be missed by many! My families thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
I am sorry for your loss, Carter was in my math class sitting in front of me, I was sad to hear about his passing and seeing his desk empty. I could see he was a hardworking and smart person always working on assignments for different classes in between. I only spoke to him a couple of times but could tell he was a very nice and great person. I am going to miss seeing him in class and having him block my view of the board at time’s. He will be missed may he rest in peace my prayer with you.
Our daughter Amy was in a class with Carter at SECC. She would talk about Carter, how nice he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. With deepest sympathy…..
God took Carter by the hand n led him to the heavens above. May the angels wings wrap his family and loved ones. , Giveing them healing n comfort in they’re time of sarrow..
Dave and I are so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Carter. May prayers from family and friends bring you some comfort. What a wonderful young man. Cathie & Dave Kingsley
