| Published by The Arizona Republic from Jul. 19 to Jul. 28, 2021 - Phoenix, Arizona - Jeffrey Donald Carter, 61, passed away Friday, July 16th 2021 following a stroke he had while playing in The Northern Utah Amatuear Golf Tournament. Jeff is the son of Donald and Elizabeth Carter. He was born in Charleston, Illinois on March 18th, 1960. Jeff spent most of his life in Scottsdale/Phoenix after he married the love of his life and wife of almost 34 years, Jenny, and there they raised their two children, Jessica and Jacob. He was an avid golfer, entrepreneur, financial advisor, investor, and commonly known by his loved ones as a craftsman of all trades whether it was on the golf course, or helping his wife out around the house, Jeff was certain that every job he did was executed to its purest form. Jeff was an ardent ice cream lover, gardener, Cubs, Bears and Bulls fan, and some would say a "clean freak". Above all he was a very proud father of his two children. Jeff lived a life filled with gratitude, an unwavering moral compass, amazing accomplishment, and dedication that was apparent to all who knew him. He was his family's north star, their guiding light, and his giant presence will continue to carry them through life. His sense of humor, booming laugh, and big smile were known by all whose lives he touched. Jeff was always focused on evolution, having perfected the ability to reinvent himself, he was constantly changing for the better, waking up each day a better man than the day before. He will be greatly missed and will be remembered fondly by friends and family as a smart, strong, thoughtful, persistent, and caring man. Jeff's passing is a stark reminder to all that life is a precious gift, not to be taken for granted, and to be lived to the fullest with a smile and grateful heart. He is survived by his wife Jenny Hamilton Carter, children Jessica Rose Carter and Jacob Stewart Carter, his mother Elizabeth Carter and siblings Ellen Foster and Mark Carter, as well as nieces, nephews and extended family.
