Roy Lester Carson, affectionately known to all who had the pleasure of knowing him as Pete, graced this world with his vibrant spirit from March 10, 1962, until his gentle farewell on December 8, 2024. He was a luminary, a man whose laughter reverberated through every corner he occupied and whose warmth could melt the coldest of hearts.

With a personality that welcomed life’s encounters, Pete never met a stranger; he saw each person as a potential friend awaiting discovery. His ability to connect with others was not only endearing but was also a testament to his innate gift of fostering relationships. Armed with a quick wit and a delightful sense of humor, he brought joy to gatherings, leaving many with a smile and cherished memories that would linger long after he departed.
A devoted man of God, Pete lived his faith openly, ministering to those in need—not through grand gestures, but with small acts of kindness that spoke volumes. His love for others was a driving force in his life, showcasing a unique blend of compassion and grace that resonated deeply in his community.

An avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys, his enthusiasm for the game brought together friends and family alike, as they rallied around TVs and shouted in unison, celebrating triumphs and sharing in defeats. Basketball was another passion that fueled his spirit—whether playing a friendly pickup game or watching a thrilling match, the joy it brought him was palpable. And on quiet days, he took solace in long walks, allowing the serenity of the outdoors to restore his spirit.
In full stature, Pete was not merely a fashionable man, but a beacon of style, always presenting himself with an elegance that spoke to his inner confidence and attention to detail. He had an eye for what looked good and a heart that made everyone feel beautiful around him.
