Ruritan Remembers Jeremy Jon Carter

The Montgomery Ruritan Club remembers the sudden passing of Jeremy Carter who passed away on Wednesday June 29, 2022 at the young age of 47.  Jeremy had not been a member of the Ruritan Club very long but just a few years but he was quickly moving up the ranks.  He was a faithful worker at Ruritan events and was being trained to be chairman of the Ruritan Kitchen booth for the Turkey Trot.  Glen Spaulding had trained Jeremy to take his place as he wanted to step down. Jeremy had already proven himself at the Fish Fry for the Ruritan Club in June meeting of 2022.  He was a big hit with this fish fry and he got a thumbs up from the club members present. He was type person that would do whatever was ask of him.  

Jeremy was elected to the Ruritan Board in 2022 and the members were very impressed by his ability to take charge and get things done.  He was fast becoming a valuable member of the Ruritan Club and his sudden passing has left the Club and Community in grief.  We never know time or the hour when God will call you home but as it has been said many times it was such a shock for all of us in the club but I am sure more so for his Family that he leaves behind.  

Jeremy worked in healthcare IT services with AME and Good Samaritan Hospital before working for FujiFilm Medical Systems where he had been employed for the last 16 years.

We extend our sympathies to his wife Jennifer, His daughters Ava and Hailey of Montgomery, two stepsons, Caleb Evans of Des Moines, IA, and Colton Evans, of Brea, CA.

Obituary for Jeremy Jon Carter

Born: January 15, 1975, Died: June 29, 2022

Born in: Lawrenceville , IL
Resided in: Montgomery, IN

Jeremy Jon Carter, 47, of Montgomery, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 29, at Good Samaritan Hospital. He was born January 15, 1975, in Lawrenceville, IL, and attended Lawrenceville schools before completing his college education at Southern Illinois University. 

He worked in healthcare IT services with AME and Good Samaritan Hospital before working for FujiFilm Medical Systems where he had been employed for the last 16 years – most recently as Senior Manager of Upgrades. Not only was he proud of his work, and of his team and colleagues. 

22 years ago, he met his wife Jennifer (Webster) on a blind date inspired by mutual friends and a mutual love of music. The couple built their friendship and family from that moment on. The couple has two daughters, Ava and Hailey Carter of Montgomery, and two stepsons, Caleb Evans of Des Moines, IA, and Colton Evans, of Brea, CA. 

He was extremely proud of his family. His daughters’ involvement in Barr-Reeve athletics and student activities was a special source of this pride and prompted his involvement in the greater Montgomery community. He became a member and club director of the Montgomery Ruritan and looked forward to the fun (and work) of the Turkey Trot Festival. 

In his spare time, he most enjoyed hours spent at the river camp with friends and family – stoking his campfire and beer in hand. He was immensely proud of his grill master skills, cornhole prowess, and his freshly mowed yard. When not outside, he enjoyed playing cards, watching Formula1 and NHRA racing, watching Cardinals baseball, and taking naps on the couch with his beloved dog, Biscuit. 

No one who lived with, worked with, or knew Jeremy was safe from his practical joking, nicknames, and “cattle prodding” – his famous beard never too big to cover the hearty laugh and smiles aimed at the victims of his antics. 

In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his parents, Mike (Patty) Carter and Nicki Stevenson of Lawrenceville, siblings Aaron (Jacie) Carter, Mary (Richard) Walls, Kristi (Terry) Brown, Trisha Stover-Hammond, and Cassie McClellan-Cooper, one granddaughter, Isla, nieces Madison, Sydney, Allie, Cloey, and Lilly, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, family and friends who will cherish his memory.
