On Wednesday, March 18th, our dear friend Stephen Carter tragically lost his battle with mental health.

Stephen was the kind of person who always had a smile on his face. He gave so much of himself—whether physically or emotionally—and was always there for others. He listened without judgment, offered support without hesitation, and lifted people up through prayer and presence.

He was open about his own struggles and became an advocate for mental health, helping others feel seen, understood, and not alone.

Stephen leaves behind his loving wife, Laurie; his daughters, Priscilla and Brianna; his stepsons, Shawn and JJ; his stepdaughter, Tina; and his nine cherished grandchildren: Kiara, Connor, Luke, Noah, Lily, Christopher, Daxton, Caleb, and Chloe.

He is now reunited in heaven with his beloved Tammy, his daughter Sacha, his grandson Baby Carter, and his father.

Stephen lived a life rooted in giving, and we hope to honor that spirit by coming together to support his family during this incredibly difficult time. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to his family to help in their time of need.

If you are able, please consider contributing. If not, sharing this and keeping his family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.
