Christopher Scott Carter

Christopher Scott Carter crossed over in his sleep after a lengthy illness in the home he shared with his loving life partner, Donna (McClung) Falk. Born Christmas day 1954 in Bloomington, IN, he was the son of Phyllis (Crews) Carter of Bloomington and the late James W. Carter. He was the father of Nikita Rae (Carter) McDonald (husband Andrew), Christopher Matthew Carter, all of Carmel, IN and Brian Rhodes of Indianapolis, IN. His brother, James Matthew Carter lives in Sarasota, FL. Cris was a January graduate from BHS North’s first class in 1973. He served in the U.S. Army 101st Airborne and was deployed for 2 years in S. Korea. From the start, Cris always had an affinity for all creatures, from cats and dogs to turtles, snakes and fish. He was never without a multitude of beloved pets in his life. In recent years his sweet Mikey would curl up on his chest and fall asleep purring, giving great comfort to them both. Cris had a bright curious mind and loved reading, expanding his knowledge of science and history. He had a keen interest in the Civil War and visited many battlefields over the years. When he and Donna watched “Jeopardy” every night, Cris almost always jumped in with the correct answers. His sense of humor held a strong bond between them. Spelunking in local caves was a favorite adventure for most of his life, and he amassed an impressive collection of special rocks. In his childhood Cris’s dad owned local Gulf gas stations and, for a time, was the only local mechanic who worked on foreign cars. Cris carried on this interest and their love of racing the rest of his life. Day & Deremiah-Frye Mortuary is in charge of cremation as he requested. The family is planning a celebration of life and scattering of his ashes when the weather turns warm in the spring.
