Life Story for Donald "Don" Carter
Don Carter passed away May 14th 2017 at Columbia Basin Care Center following a stroke January 5, 2017.
He was born June 16, 1960 in Vancouver Washington to Gary and Phyllis Carter. Donald was the second of three children born to Mr. and Mrs. Carter. Don attended school in Wishram and graduated in 1978. After graduating, Don went to work for Burlington Northern Railroad where he worked for 23 years.
He spent his retirement years enjoying his hobby of woodworking, he was very skilled and creative in designing wonderful pieces for his family and friends. Another area of his life that brought him tremendous enjoyment was watching his son Joshua grow up. There wasn’t a baseball game that was missed, or a Scout Event that Don wasn’t helping with. This culminated in Josh becoming an Eagle Scout. Don was a proud father.
As Don’s friends will remember one of his greatest talents was throwing rowdy, parties there wasn’t a summer that went by without all of his friends and family gathering for a raucous party, much to the neighbors’ dismay.
Don is survived by his wife of 27 years Steffanie Carter, his son Josh Carter, his step daughter Shanon Saldivar spouse Daniel, his Grandchildren Electra and Scarlet, his Step son Craig Marquardt spouse Maria, and his Grandchildren Hannah, Abranita, Rebekah, Grace, Dulaney, and Shiloh.
He had a huge heart and loved his family and friends fiercely. This was often shadow by his tough exterior. He will be missed by all.
There will be a Memorial Service 2:00 p.m., Thursday, May 18th, 2017 at Wishram Community Church (340 Main Street, Wishram, Washington) all are welcome.
There will also be a rowdy, raucous Celebration of Life June 16 his 57th birthday, details and location T.B.A.
Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center Celilo Chapel, 204 E. 4th St. The Dalles, Oregon 97058 - (541) 296-2600.
