I am his sister and I had spoken to him a few weeks before. He was looking forward in training my son in track which was my brothers love. He was a champion maker and so proud of his girls! The Pantry was his breakfast spot for the team especially in the November finals. My brother was a magical man heaven has received one of the great ones.
Although I didn’t know Carter that long, he truly gave me hope that there are good people in this world. I am greatful for the time we did share. Sending prayers to his family and friends as they get through this difficult time.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. We will always remember Carter as a kind person. Deeply sorry for your loss.
You will always hold a special place in my heart. I cherish every memory we share. My prayers and love are for your sister and mother and all who love you.
With Deepest Sympathy & Condolences to the Family… Carter was a Wonderful person.
Carter was my daughters coach for 4yrs cross country/ Track I have to say he was an amazing coach and very understanding and caring to his athletes His death has hit both of us hard. He will forever be in our hearts ??
Our daughter and son, Lauren and Ian Carlton, both ran four years of cross country and distance track with Coach Carter. Lauren started as a freshman in 2005, the year that Carter became head coach, so we saw him build both girls’ and boys’ teams from the beginning. In her four years he took the girls’ team from last in the League to League Champions and CIF Champions and to Sate for the first time ever. Ian’s four years, starting in 2009, likewise saw the boys’ team progress from near last in the League to League Champions. The teams grew deeper over these years, but Carter’s coaching skills made these accomplishments possible.Both Lauren and Ian loved Carter, and both will remember him all of their lives. He coached them to be the best athletes they could be, but he also cared about them as whole people, not just about their athletic performance. He didn’t yell, he encouraged. He didn’t berate, he inspired. He ran with them. He was always an understated but rock-solid presence with a dry sense of humor. He earned their trust, and ours. Both are still runners, and always will be.We, too loved Carter and we, too, will remember him all our lives. During those eight years we came to feel like Carter was an honorary member of our family, and when they were past, we thought of him as a friend. I hope his family knows how much he will live on in the hearts of the many, many young people he coached and in the hearts of their parents.
God bless you always Coach Carter. -Greg Greiner
