Help Colby and his family with their tragic loss

Donation protected
On Saturday, December 9, Colby suffered an unimaginable loss with the unexpected passing of his beloved father. George Carter passed away in Colby's arms at the age of 71, surrounded by those he loved most. 
In this challenging time, we are reaching out to his friends and our community for support. George had neither a life insurance nor burial policy in place at the time of his death, so the Carter family now face significant end of life expenses and other unforeseen financial burdens. Your generosity will help ease the strain on Colby, his mother Debbie, and his sister Olivia during this difficult time.
How Your Donation Helps:
• Funeral and memorial service expenses
• Grief counseling and support for the family
• Providing a foundation for the family to cope with this loss

About George:
George had a commanding presence about him. His wife & children are convinced that he was the strongest person, both mentally and physically, that they knew. When you got to know George, you'd find one of the most gentle souls. He was kind. He was loving. He was generous. Noted by his peers, he was a man of many skills.

George bought a brand new 1977 Ford F-150 pickup truck, and with that truck he proceeded to build his family’s log home with the resources from the land. The lumber came from the trees he cut down. The stones used for the foundation came from the creek nearby. The water used to hand mix concrete also came from the creek nearby. He was a modern day Paul Bunyon. 

It was on this family property that George would accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He attended Long Hollow Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon under the leadership of the late David Landrith. George was a member of Madison High School's 1972 graduating class. George was an outdoorsman. He enjoyed camping, hunting, and all family activities.

Please reach out for memorial and service details which are to come.
