Love and miss David so much. He always knew how to make you laugh and feel loved. This world will never be the same without him. One thing I know for certain is he is with the savior Jesus Christ. Well done thy good and faithful servant. Bro David Carter, you finished the race and finished it well.

I wanted to tell you how much David meant to me during my time at FBC. He was always so encouraging with that sweet smiling face. He had his “way” of going into a preschool classroom and getting them all riled up then leaving😄! It was such a joy to work with Haley, Hope and Hannah in our preschool and summer program. I am praying for you and your family.

Ginger and I want to say thank you for sharing David with us. He was really a lovable guy and a blessing to all. He made it no secret how much he loved his family to include his church family. We will miss him as well but so thankful God put him in our life. To the Carter family we want you to know you are loved and are hopeful you guys will continue to be part of our church family. He left an example for all us to follow. We love you.
