Passed away peacefully at Grey Bruce Health Services, Owen Sound on Saturday, October 14, 2023 in his 80th year.
Beloved husband and best friend of the late Marie Carter. Loving father of Karen Smart (David) of Waterloo, Paul Carter of Milton and daughter-in-law Sherry of Fergus. Special Grampa of Meagan (Jarrett), Ryan, Joshua and Khayla. Brother of Mike (Trudy) Carter, brother-in-law of Doug Dearden and Jim Dearden all of Owen Sound. He will be dearly missed by his many nieces, nephews and friends.
Predeceased by his parents Cyril and Gladys Carter. His parents-in-law Frank and Marg Dearden. His siblings Sheila, Bob and John Carter and sisters-in-law Patti and Ada Dearden.
Steve in his younger years played on many teams, some of his fondest moments were playing for the Owen Sound Greys, the Wiarton Redman, and being inducted into the Owen Sound Hall of Fame in 2018 for the Owen Sound Bay Motor Hotel – Softball Champions in 1965.
Some of his happiest moments were spent cheering on the Leafs, Dodgers, and his grandkids in all their sports and accomplishments. He was very proud of them and never missed a chance to “Brag” about them.
Hang Loose Chum!
