High Point - John Carter, 72, departed this life on Friday, February 21, 2020 at his residence. He was born on October 10, 1947 in Forsyth County, NC. to Henry Saunder and Cora Lee Carter.

He was fondly known to many in his community as “Mr. John” and was a resident of High Point for over 20 years. He was a 1965 graduate of Atkins High School and attended Winston Salam State University. John was a former member of Shiloh Baptist Church in Winston Salem and employed as a fork lift driver at R.J.

John was known for his smile and jolly personality. He never met a stranger and always had kind words of encouragement. He loved spending quality time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren, who taught him how to text on his cell phone. He enjoyed watching all the TV Judges in the morning while having his cup of coffee. An avid sportsman, he had a penchant for football. His favorite teams were the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks. John leaves a legacy of love and kind deeds. We are thankful to God for his treasured life and we will cherish precious memories.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Carol Ann Carter.
