Kelly B. Carter

With a multitude of compassion and concern, the Horton’s Funeral Home and Cremations Family announces the earthly departure of Mr. Kelly B. Carter. Mr. Carter pulled the drapes on this journey called life on Thursday, February 23, 2023. 

The heartbreaking task of planning the Life Remembering services for Mr. Carter have been finalized and will commence with a Viewing and Visitation on Friday, March 10, 2023 from 6-8pm at Horton’s Funeral Home and Cremations. During this time, family and visitors can reminisce on the days of old and embrace everlasting memories, while beginning the healing process as a result of this devastating loss. A Celebration of Life Service on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 11am at Horton’s Funeral Home and Cremations with Evangelist Talitha Stallings, Eulogist. 

Immediately following the formalities in the Chapel, Mr. Carter’s earthen vessel along with his cherished family will be escorted to Beaver Hill Cemetery for Committal Rites.

As hard as it will be for Kelly’s loved ones to depart without him, God our Heavenly Father promised to give peace that will surpass all of our understanding even in the midst of grief and sorrow. The hymnologist said it best... when he put pen to parchment writing.... “We’ll understand it better all by and by.”

He was preceded in death by his father, Kramer Carter; mother, Roxanna Simmons Carter; uncle, Leamon Simmons; and two sisters, Marion Carter and Diane Dinkins.

Kelly is survived by his children, Sherrica Jones, Kimbly (Lamonte) Yarborough, Kelvon Carter, Courtney Carter, and Chantel (Chevoy) Smith; grandchildren, Shatima Pridgen, Jakeim Thomas, Ashantie Williams, D'nedra Carter, Daijahn Jones, Te'Kiera Newby, and Te'Niya Newby; siblings Carrie (Jeffery) Trussell, Lewis (Sheila) Carter, Keith (Diana) Carter, and Lillian (Henry) Drew. He also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

The Compassionate Professionals of Horton’s Funeral Home and Cremations are serving the Carter and connected families with uncompromising dignity.
