Malcolm Carter Obituary

ELLIJAY, Ga. - Malcolm Lee "Mac" Carter Jr., 83, a former resident of DeLand, died June 20, 2025, at his home, as a result of an automobile accident. Memorial services took place July 7 at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, with the Rev. Dan Rosser officiating.
Malcolm was born May 19, 1942, in Amarillo, Texas, to Malcolm Lee Carter and Hazael Bynum Carter. He graduated from high school in Pampa, Texas, and received his Bachelor of Science in engineering from Texas Tech University.
His occupations were as varied and unique as he was. He taught history; owned a computer store; the family owned a prestressed-concrete business; he was a construction supervisor, and built and remodeled homes; and was a catastrophic insurance adjustor.
Malcolm had a genius-level IQ, combined with a dry wit and a knack for storytelling.
He would meet his third wife, Candace Carter, through match.com. They were married Sept. 28, 2009, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
In retirement, Malcolm was past president of the POA where he resided in the Coosawattee River Resort. He could frequently be seen driving his red Kawasaki UTC around the neighborhood.
Survivors include his wife, Candace Schmidt Carter; two children from a previous marriage, Malcolm Lee Carter III and his wife, Susan, and an estranged daughter, Sara Carter; a special nephew, Lyndy Carter; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and, last but not least, two family cats, Oscar, and the best 24-hour nurse, Orville, who worked for Kibble.
