Those who knew the beloved Reverend took to Facebook to express condolences.

“Everyone needs encouragement from time to time. We all face crises, challenges, setbacks, oppositions, and adversities at some point in life. Problems and troubles do not discriminate. There are three enemies that normally work against us: satan, Murphy’s law, and the enemy within, which is self,” wrote Rev. Carter on his personal blog.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
