Kenny Carter passed away in the early evening hours of Monday, April 24, 2023, with his beloved wife, Janet by his side. Kenny was born at Twenty Nine Palms Marine Corps Base, California on April 3, 1959, the fourth child of Kenneth C. Carter and Patricia A. Carter, eventually ranking the fourth of nine siblings!
