Carter Keith Williams

April 14, 2016 – September 28, 2023

It is with so much unconditional love in our hearts that we announce the passing of our beautiful Carter on September 28, 2023.

There aren’t enough words to encapsulate Carter and his spirit. He is the strongest, most delicate and enchanting child. We are devastated to now try to navigate life without him teaching us how to carry on. 

Carter came into this world on April 14, 2016, the same way he left, too soon. He was born with a rare genetic disorder, GRIN1, but he was a fighter who never quit. We loved watching his progress, his personality and his skills grow. Carter loved life. He loved the wind, the sun, the sound of the chimes while in his swing. He changed the lives of so many around the world and we are immensely proud of the strong, stubborn child he had become. It is because of him that families across the globe are thriving with this life altering disorder. We will miss him with every fiber of our being.

Carter and his legacy will live on through his parents Lauren and Casey Williams, his sweet pups Evelyn and Rosalie, maternal grandparents Janet and Michael Craft, paternal grandparents Todd and Vivian Williams, Aunt Brittani and Uncle Rickey Mather, cousin Ava Mather, and many others who love and support us.

Carter enjoyed bright colors and the lights of life, so we request that you please dress as casually as Carter would. We want to celebrate a life so big, it captured the hearts of everyone he met. 

And always remember, everyone dies, but not everyone lives. Live like Carter. Visitation and services to celebrate Carters’ Life will be held on Friday , October 6, 2023 from 2pm to 4pm, at Greenwell Springs Baptist  In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the CureGRIN Foundation, Condolences may be offered at .
