Vickey Jo Thomas - Spry Funeral Home

Keeping all of the family in my thoughts and prayers. Much love to you.

We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Carter was such a kind and friendly person. He always spoke to us when we were there. He cared so much for our grandchildren, Brooks and Ally Givens. I know your church will miss him greatly. He touched so many lives. May you feel God's comfort during this time.

I never knew Mr. David, but I know his sweet daughters Hope and Hannah. To see the light that they give is a testament to how they were raised. Praying for this family, for my friends.

We are heartbroken for the loss of your husband, father, youngest son, and little brother. May the power of God’s comforting Spirit ease your ache.

David was one of the greatest men I've ever known. I enjoyed the years that I was able to work with him in VBS and other ministries. He was truly a man of God, and was always thinking of new ways to reach out to the community to spread the love of Jesus. His positive attitude was infectious, and I don't remember ever seeing him without a smile on his face. He will be greatly missed. I'm praying that God will comfort the family in their loss.

We are thankful the Lord allowed our family to cross paths with David Carter. His loving legacy of generosity, and enthusiasm for the gospel inspired and encouraged us to persevere through tough times!
Prayers and Love for Renee, the girls, Craig and Wilma.

Today as we say a temporary goodbye, We can’t help but be so proud of the life you lived, the love you gave to all and the faith that you shared with countless people. From the moment we meet your precious family we all became family. We are so thankful that we have shared so many memories with you and you beautiful family. We wouldn’t have had any other person marry us and counsel us throughout the years. I’m so thankful for the friendship you shared, especially, with my daddy. Your laugh will truly be missed but your generosity and love will stay with us until we meet again! We love you so big “uncle” David, may you now bike on the streets of gold.

I am so sorry for your loss. David was a childhood friend of my father’s and recently did the ceremony for the passing of my grandmother. The Lord used his presence and gifts that day to provide tremendous amounts of comfort and love for my family. It was such an honor to meet him! Just from my small interaction with him, I personally felt the love of Jesus that day. I am praying comfort and peace over your family, and that the power and truth of the gospel be made ever so clear during this time of loss.
