Michael D. Carter, 69, dedicated husband, father, grandfather and brother passed away at home in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, surrounded by family on Friday, June 22, 2019.
He is survived by his wife of fifty years, Bonita (nee Johangtes), and daughters Nichole (Jeff) Walden, Denise (Doug) Craven, both of Hidden Valley Lake in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. He is also survived by loving grandchildren William Michael, Gabriel Carter, Alyssa Michaela, and Riley Margaret, and granddogs Charlie and Kita.
Mike is preceded in death by his father Henry and mother Myrtle (nee Metcalf) Carter of Cincinnati, Ohio, and sisters Juanita and Geraldine Carter of Cincinnati, Ohio. He is survived by his sister Carol Carter of Cincinnati, Ohio, and brother Jim (Gail) Carter of Louisville, Kentucky. He was a role model and dear uncle to his nephews, niece and many others.
He is treasured for his selfless dedication to his family, benevolent nature to all, and quick-witted sense of humor. He made his life’s work at Ford Motor Company for 32 years, where he formed lifelong friendships.
The last few months of his life illuminated his strength, bravery, kindness and humility as he battled a rare bone marrow cancer. We are proud to celebrate his life and legacy, and have hope in his eternal life through the power of Jesus Christ.
Donations may be made to the Myelofibrosis MPN Research Foundation or St. Lawrence Parish in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Private services will be at the convenience of the family at Jackman Hensley Funeral Home 215 Broadway Street, Harrison, Ohio 45030.
