Carter “Bear” Donley Register in honor of Carter

Share Carter's story with others:

He loved to wave at everybody with a big grin on his sweet face...

Carter was born with a very rare genetic disorder. He endured a lot of struggles and pain in his short 14 year life. Through it all he remained a sweet, joyful little boy so full of love, perseverance and determination. He loved to wave at everybody with a big grin on his sweet face. Though he had no voice, he “spoke” his love so loud and clear to all those around him. We lost him suddenly and unexpectedly and our hearts will be forever broken, but we know he is home safe in the arms of Jesus. His body healed, his voice heard and living in pure joy. His corneas were donated and two women received the gift of sight. Carter Bear loved looking at his books and watching all that was going on around him, I know he would be happy to give the gift of sight. We love you and miss you Bear. Forever and always.

    Carter showed us and showed the world to keep persevering through the simple moments and difficulties no matter what. He also was a unique beautiful light of the world while the world is full of darkness. He also taught us to also keep a positive attitude. With his strength and determination of his struggles it can teach us how to be better for ourselves and for others I will always love him and miss him dearly. I can't wait to be with him again in the kingdom of heaven.
