What a privilege to work in ministry with David Carter. His impact in several communities will live on for a long time. His investment in young lives has made our world a better place. A big heart, a big smile, and tireless effort, along with David's commitment to our Lord and the message of salvation were his strong assets. He used the gifts God gave him to make the lives of others better. I will miss him greatly. Love to his family.

I am so very sorry. David was always so kind and gracious to me. I particularly remember my granddaughter wanting to ask David about Jesus on a morning of VBS week. I tried to tell her he was way too busy and to wait until lunch. She saw him in the sanctuary and he stopped working and sat down with her. I shall never forget that day! May God bless you and your family!!!

I'm still in disbelief on the death of David. May we find comfort in knowing he is with Jesus and was doing what he loved and for the Children.

Renee and girls,
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are just heart broken to hear about David- still seems unreal! We were out walking Sunday afternoon in Canebrake and just hate we missed David. He was one special man with so many talents and gifts. I always remember his smile and his love for his church family, especially the children. He will be greatly missed! That promise of seeing him again one day will keep us going. Sending hugs and much love to you all.
Marlin, Valera and David
Our son Daniel remembers their fishing trips and sends his love and prayers.
