Carter Lawrence Gilson (Fowler), 2, went to be with the Lord on July 19, 2014. He loved fishing with his daddy, riding anything with wheels: skateboards, power wheels, bicycles, and being pushed around mostly; playing with any and every kind of sports balls, playing with his brothers and sisters, being held by his mommy when he was sick and only mommy, making chocolate milk, body boarding, going to the beach, and building things at Lowe's Kids Workshop.
Carter started walking by 9 months old, was potty trained as soon as the diaper came off at the age of barely 2, and started talking when he was one and amazingly fast picked up an advanced and amazing vocabulary.
He is survived by his mother, Tiffany Gilson; father, Richard Fowler; grandmothers, Faye Coombs and Bonnie Gilson; grandfather, Vincent Gilson; and four siblings, Desiree (15) and Haley (12) Fowler and Kayla (4) and James (6) Rivera.

Tiff, Rick, and Carter's siblings,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Carter lives on with each and everyone's lives he has touched, don't let his memory fade. I remember him talking to me on the phone everytime he was at Grandma Bonnie's house. Wish we could be there for you physically, but we are with you in prayer. TIFF if you need an ear I am only a phone call away day or night. Rip Carter??
