Ronnie Fredrick Carter, age 53, of Harrells passed away Saturday, June 7, 2014.

He was born January 19, 1961 in New Hanover County, the son of John F. Carter of Harrells and the late Eloise Doris Peterson Carter. Also lovingly remembered is Ronnie's canine companion "Louie" who passed away with Ronnie in the accident on Saturday. One never saw Ronnie without his beloved dog, Louie.

He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Anita Pearson Carter of the home; son, Lucas Carter of Harrells; daughter, Alma Maria Carter and fiancé, Justin Rivenbark, of Harrells; sister, Pamela "Pam" C. Hurt of Harrells and numerous nieces, nephews and friends who loved Ronnie dearly.

Ronnie was a devoted husband and loving father, son and brother who dedicated his life to his wife and family. He was a hard worker who enjoyed being out doors, planting crops and working on his farm. A man of great integrity, Ronnie will surely be missed by all who knew him and loved him.
