A senate RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF Dylan
Carter AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dylan
Carter on April 26, 2026; and
Whereas, a native of St.
George, Dylan was born on September 13, 2002, to Buddy Carter and the late
Julie Buchanan Carter. He was a 2020 honor graduate of Dorchester Academy,
where he was an active honor student, played football and golf, and sang at
many school events. He was Mr. Sub Freshman and named Mr. Challenger in 2016.
He shared his musical talent by singing at many chapel programs throughout his
school years and beyond in graduations and baccalaureate programs; and
Whereas, Dylan worked
as a real estate agent with Carolina Properties, where he was known not only
for his professionalism, but for the genuine care and kindness he showed to
every client and colleague. He also worked tirelessly building and co-owning
Sunny Days Campground with his best friend and partner, Logan Lowder; and
Whereas, Dylan's talent
and passion for singing led him to be a contestant on season twenty-four of The
Voice in 2023. In his initial audition, he turned four chairs and led
judges to tears with his rendition of Whitney Houston's "I Look to You," which
he performed at his late mother's funeral. Throughout the season, Dylan competed
for Coach Reba McEntire; and
Whereas, a civic
leader, Dylan was the co-founder of The Local Voice, a local singing
competition that raises money for women with breast cancer in the Santee
Community; and
Whereas, a devout
Christian, he was a member of St. George United Methodist Church. He loved the
Lord and lived his life with kindness, warmth, and joy. He was truly loved by
all who knew him and leaves behind a lasting impression on everyone he met; and
Whereas, in his free
time, Dylan enjoyed singing at community events throughout the Lowcountry,
volunteering with Living Word Ministries' stage productions, and spending time
with his family and friends; and
Whereas, he was
preceded in death by his mother, Julie B. Carter, and his paternal grandfather,
Bobby Carter; and
Whereas, Dylan leaves
to cherish his memory his father, Buddy Carter (Deanna); brother, Cole Carter
(Collins); niece, Claire Julie Carter; maternal grandmother, Kaye B. Harper;
paternal grandmother, Diane Carter; grandfathers, Jim Buchanan and Larry
Harper; aunts, Kristen Buchanan Hatchell and Stephanie Harper; close cousins,
Kaydance Hatchell, Jessica Byrd, and Matthew Byrd (Melissa); and his best
friend, Logan Lowder. He will be greatly missed.  Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution,
express profound sorrow upon the passing of Dylan Carter and extend the deepest
sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Dylan Carter.
