Stone had many cousins as well. He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents: Shirley and Donald C. Boyd of Dallas, Texas.

He went by the name of “Stone” most of his life due to sharing the name of “James” with his dad, James Roy Carter. Stone was a spiritual man, not necessarily a religious man. He loved the Lord with all his heart. He always tried to do the right thing. If you were lucky enough to have known him, he was in your corner to the very end and it didn’t matter that you had been arguing with him an hour or a day ago - if you needed him, he was there. He was forgiving, always. He taught his family how to love unconditionally. He was known for his one-liners and his sense of humor. He loved taking pictures with a filter and sometimes without a filter. He was the family photo man. He captured many smiles, but the precious ones that he captured were of his sons, Damian and Ben Carter. He loved his boys as much as the stars, the moon, and the earth combined. He shared this love with his life partner, Karen Morales. They made a loving home in Springfield, Tennessee. He loved playing video games at his home. His favorite video game was Arkham Knight. His favorite super hero was Batman. He loved pizza and McDonalds! Stone was easy going for the most part. His big thing was that he didn’t like being alone. He loved people. When he didn’t have a friend, he went out and met a new one. We will definitely miss this loving and caring soul. Fly high Stoneboy!
