Robert Lee Carter, 86, passed away peacefully, on Jan. 19, 2025, at the home of his daughter, in Sparta. He spent his last 20-plus years living with his son, in Brandon, Mississippi.

Robert was born July 6, 1938, to Curtis Carter and Clara Mae Young Carter and lived most of his life in Kentwood, Louisiana.

Robert was a kind, loving, and caring person who always had a helping hand with family and friends. He was a loving father to his children whom he loved dearly and was very proud of, and, in return, his children were always there for him.

Robert was preceded in death by his wife of 49 years, Evelyn I. Cutrer; his brothers, Shelby Joe Carter, Jeffie Carter; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Surviving family include his children, Sarah Marie (Michael) Dolan, John Robert (Sherry) Carter; grandchildren, Casey Quinn (Hannah) Gullotta, Jessica Louise (Collin Beatty) Dolan; great-grandchildren, Harrison Gullotta, Miller Jean Gullotta; and several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Robert's family honored his wishes to be cremated, and the family will have a celebration of life at a later date.

Oak Lawn Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
