Matthew Judd Carter

1982 ~ 2014

What a man, loving caring brother and son. Once he put his sights on getting something done, it got done to perfection. Matt was an artist; he worked with clay, jewelry various handy crafts. Matt was a loyal friend; one better not mess with Matt's friends or one would suffer his wrath. Matt was a good looking man and was meticulous in how he dressed.

In his own words:" I love life and all the ups and downs that come with it. I would feel most comfortable about writing for the things and people that I'm grateful for. I am so grateful for my health. I have been so fortunate to have lived a healthy life. I am so thankful for my mother and father. I have never known such unconditional love of which the love that has come from my parents. I truly would have nothing if it were not for the lessons and opportunity they have given me. I have wonderful brothers that inspire me to live a life of giving. It is not what you take, it is what is given!

I am so grateful to have time with babygirl. I feel that my life has been the most fortunate for this reason. She is the best mother I have ever seen and her beauty is unlike any ever given to a women bringing on the question of could she be an Angel? I'm grateful for her to inspire me to be a better man.

Thank you more being there for Daniel helping us respect and care for each other. I am and always will be grateful for you being in my life, leaving when you need to, staying when you shouldn't. I am truly, gratefully yours and I am honored for everything."

"When you feel that life is upset at you, it's most likely because you're not being teachable…"
