Tim worked with my husband, Jef, at the bank in Kansas City. We loved his sense of humor and kindness and remember fondly many occasions when we carried in and enjoyed dinner with him while he was in the Rehab Institute. Somehow, we lost touch with Tim but have thought of him often over the years. He was a fine man. Our prayers are with you. |

Todd we were so saddened to learn of Tim's passing. We've still, after all of this time, remembered him so fondly, and commented on how graciously he had seemingly accepted the hardships of his life after his accident. Always a smile and kind words for everyone, bringing joy wherever he went. I know you and Ami as well as everyone who was lucky enough to spend time with Tim, will feel his loss greatly. Just know that we are thinking of you and Abby ad your loved ones and share your sadness in grieving the loss of your Dad. We miss you, Todd, and hope to see you once again some time soon. You were always one of our very favorites.. Joe and Barb |

Dear Tim’s Family,
My name will not mean anything to you but when I read an old KC paper this morning, I was flooded with memories of what a special man Tim
Carter was in every contact that I had with him. I was director of Patient Relations at Research Medical Center. I don’t recall if Tim was there after his initial injury but over the years (I was employed there 1978-2003) we had many good visits. So we would have known each other from early 1980’s until he moved back East. As noted on the obituary “The way he
continued to laugh, smile, and enjoy life was an inspiration to everyone.” I am sorry I missed being aware before the zoom.
But, I want you to know he touched my life. As a healthcare worker who met thousands (literally) of patients, Tim was a man who left a memorable stamp on me.
This message is to let you know that after all these years, I can feel the pleasure of entering Tim’s hospital room and how much joy I experienced in our visits. It is WONDERFUL that he moved close to where his family surrounded him.
Ami & Todd you were so blessed to be his children.
Sincerely,
Betty Gember |

Tim was my cousin. His mother, Ernestine & my father [Fred Edmonds] were 1st cousins. His grandmother, Anabel Carrol was a sister to my grandmother - Lucy Etta Edwards Edmonds. So glad he picked himself up & got on with life! |

I was best friends with Todd and spent many days playing baseball, playing in the woods and riding bikes, etc. He was the best coach I ever had. I still talk about Tim and how positive and upbeat he was even though he was put in a tough situation given his medical needs. My condolences to everyone who knew Tim but especially Todd and Ami and their families. Love you guys. Albin Family in St. Louis |

We enjoyed our friendship with Tim in Lee's Summit MO. He was always touring the neighborhood in his chair, often with his service dog following! He was happy, outgoing and a friend to many kids and adults! My daughter Caitlin had a special bond with Tim. We were sad to see him leave, but were happy he was around his family. Tim never met a stranger! We didn't keep in touch, but our neighbor Ron would call me up to his house and I would get to visit with Tim on their calls! He lived life to the fullest-laughing and joking all the way! Our thoughts are with his family and we know he is telling stories about the day.....so glad he was around to see our Chiefs win the Super Bowl!! |

We were neighbors. Tim was a good friend to me and my family. When I was going through a difficult time, I would “cry on his shoulder” then feel guilty realizing what he had to deal with the rest of his life. But he assured me that my problems were real for me and should not apologize. My daughter, Sara, won a national Essay Contest and appeared on “What’s in the News” reading her essay about her “special friend”, Tim Carter. My other daughter, Angie, lived with him and cared for him while working on her nursing degree. My girls remained close with Tim, Ami and Todd and traveled there to visit them several times. He was loved. He was special. He is missed. |

Tim, in spite of his tragic accident, loved life. When I was going through a difficult time in my life, I would “cry on his shoulder” then feel guilty considering his situation. When I told him that, he assured me that my problems were just as important. Our kids grew up together in that cul-de-sac and remain close friends. My daughter, Sara, won a national Essay Contest in a “What’s in the News” broadcast which was written about a “special friend”, Tim Carter. My daughter, Angie lived with him and cared for him while working on her nursing degree. They have traveled to seemTim, Ami, and Todd several times throughout the years. To live forty years as a quadriplegic beat the odds. He was admired for his sense of humor and upbeat attitude, and he will be dearly missed by his friends and family. ❤️ |
