Support The Carter Family's Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

We are devastated to share the heartbreaking news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Taylor J. Carter. His untimely departure has left a void in our hearts that will never be filled. As we grapple with the shock and profound grief of losing him, his family is confronted with the daunting reality of the financial burdens that accompany such a loss.

Taylor was a beloved son, husband, new father, sibling, friend, and Minnesota State Trooper who touched the lives of everyone he met with kindness, generosity, and unwavering spirit. Taylor brought joy, laughter, and love into the lives of those around him and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him but most especially by his wife Kelcie and 4-month- old baby boy, Leo Michael.

So many of us have been shaken by the sudden loss of Taylor and words can’t describe how much his presence will be missed. His energy and positivity was contagious and he reached out to so many people on many different levels. Taylor brought the sense of safety to his partners, love and security to his family and friends, passion to his job, and joy to everyone in between.

If you had the opportunity to know Taylor, you had a story to tell. From his fearlessness and love of driving fast, Taylor always brought energy and excitement with him in some form. It was rare to see Taylor express anything beyond happiness and you experienced the selflessness of Taylor and his willingness to go out of his way to help anyone in need, his bold laugh, and the ability to look past any worry and enjoy the moment you were in.

In the midst of our grief, we are reaching out to you, our community, for support during this incredibly challenging time. We humbly ask for your assistance in alleviating the financial strain that Taylor’s passing has placed on his family. Funeral expenses, medical bills, and the unforeseen costs of navigating life without him weigh heavily on their shoulders.

Your contributions, whether big or small, will make a meaningful difference in helping Taylor’s family cope with the financial aftermath of this tragedy. Your kindness and generosity will provide them with the breathing room they need to mourn their loss without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

Every donation, every share, and every word of support is deeply appreciated during this difficult time. Together, we can honor the memory of Taylor by coming together as a community to support those left behind.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, positive thoughts, sincere prayers, generosity, and compassion.

With immense, heartfelt gratitude,

The Carter Family
