James A. Carter

James Alan Carter, the son of Charles and M. Norena (Grimm) Carter, was born April 12, 1958, at Concordia, Kansas. He departed this life on December 27, 2024, at the Kearney Regional Medical Center in Kearney, Nebraska at the age of 66 years, 8 months and 15 days.

A longtime resident of the area, Jim received his formal education attending the Superior schools and graduated with the class of 1976. He was employed for a time with a meat packing plant and then worked for many years as a boat mechanic with the Bait & Tackle Shop at Webber.

Jim was united in marriage with Dana Dondlinger on November 15, 1988, at Nelson, Nebraska. In 1997, they moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota where they lived until 2000, when they returned to the Superior area. Jim suffered his first stroke that year but recovered to drive a truck with Deweese Sand & Gravel and also operated their loader until his retirement in 2008.

In his leisure time he enjoyed fishing, hunting, water skiing and boating. He never lost his love as a mechanic and always enjoyed tinkering with engines and helping friends whenever called upon. His greatest love and enthusiasm in life was for his family and he especially treasured the time spent with his kids and grandkids.

Preceding him in death were his parents and a brother, Kenny Carter.

Surviving are his wife, Dana Carter of Superior; his children and grandchildren: Jessica and Art Valadez and son, Lorenzo of Las Vegas, Nevada; Justin Carter of Superior and children, Emerson, Briley, Harlan and Creighton; Patrick Carter and wife Crystal of Stanwood, Washington and children Kylynn, Kinley and Kaycie; Chris Carter and Sierra and children, Logan and Ava; and April Carter of Superior and son, Sawyer. Also surviving are two brothers Greg Carter and wife Laticia of Superior and Ron Carter and wife Ruth of Laurel, Maryland, other relatives and his many friends.
