Dannie W. Carter

(August 16th 1938-May 29th 2021)

Dannie Wallis Carter completed his life's mission surrounded by those he loved on May 29th 2021, leaving behind his wife of 62 years.

Dannie was born to Emily Thomas and Francis Dominicus Carter, on a warm summer day on August 16th 1938. Dannie was born the second child of four. Emily Carter (sister) Ronald Francis Carter (brother) and Lennis Smith (sister). He grew up in the small city of Orem Utah at the base of the Cascade Mountain. As Dannie grew, he was thinking about joining the Air Force when the love of his life swept him off his feet. Dannie later Married Kathryn Price on September 19th, 1959 in Lehi Utah. Dannie and Kathryn were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on September 19th 1963.

Dannie and Kathryn made a great life for themselves. They were the proud parents of seven children. Ronald Dan Carter, Mary Charis Johnson, Robert Todd Carter, Heidi Carter, Rodney Price Carter, Ryan Thomas Carter and Reese Jacob Carter. Dannie was an amazing father and provider. Dannie gained his Journeyman papers as a machinist and was employed Eimco Corp. in Salt Lake City 15 years. Dannie wanted to be closer to his wife and children and ended up moving to Geneva Steel Corp in Orem, and was employed there till it closed in in 2000.

Dannie's wife Kathryn, children (7), grand children (24) and great grand children (37) would like Dannie to be remembered as the father, grandfather and great grandfather who never missed a game, recital, or baptism. He showed up to support his family always. He was a hard worker and expected the same from his family. He was firm yet kind in his teachings and if he could, he taught through example; allowing you to figure it for yourself because, "if you give a hungry man a fish, you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Dannie would reach his hand out to those in need, and was called "grandpa" to many people not of his blood.

Dannie was an adventurer. Always finding a tree to cut, a gun to shoot, a fish to hook, or an old mine to explore. He was the story teller of the camp fire, the arborist of the trees, and the teacher of the caves. If there was an adventure to be had, Dannie was leading it.

Dannie loved to travel. Dannie and his wife Kathryn spent 4 months living in the Alaskan wilderness in their trailer. He exercised an extraordinary example of what true love is by loving his wife Kathryn. Always putting her first, with a kiss and hug to follow. Dannie put God above all and had a close and personal relationship with his father in heaven. Dannie leaves behind a legacy of people who love and will cherish his teachings always. His family and friends are forever grateful for the man they had the privilege to know and love.

Dannie is preceded in death by his parents, in-laws, sister Emily Carter, brother Ronald Carter, daughter Heidi Carter, grandsons Dannie Carter and Jake Dodson.
