Mr. Dewey Allen Carter, aged 87, of Lindale, GA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at his home.
Mr. Carter was born in Cave Spring, GA, on March 7, 1937, to the late Lewis Jackson Carter and Lillian Baker Carter. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, JoAnn Loflin Carter, his daughter, Donna Renee Weems, and two sisters, Jacqueline White and Nettie Jo Hines. A proud graduate of Pepperell High School, he earned recognition as a distinguished graduate from the International Correspondence School in shop maintenance. Mr. Carter owned and operated a machine shop on 5th Avenue for over 20 years and shared his expertise by teaching at Coosa Valley Technical College for many years. He was a passionate fan of stock car racing and NASCAR, rarely missing a race. His true love was his Harley Davidson motorcycle; he traveled extensively on it, visiting his brother in Key West, journeying across Alaska, and attending Sturgis motorcycle rallies whenever possible. Mr. Carter was a valued member of Fairview Baptist Church, where he is now reunited with JoAnn, celebrating in the presence of his Savior for eternity.
He is survived by his two brothers, Gary Carter of Rome and Bobby Carter (Karen) of Boca Raton, FL; as well as numerous beloved nieces, nephews, extended family members, and former students.
A graveside service will take place at 1 PM on Monday, November 25, 2024, at Oaknoll Memorial Gardens, officiated by Mr. Carter’s nephew-in-law, Greg Jolly.
