“Dylan was the heart of what we do. He believed every voice matters and lived that every day,” the post reads. “Through his music, his kindness, and his smile, he brought people together and made everyone feel seen.”
Describing Carter as a “proud Lowcountry native,” The Local Voice shared, “Dylan also owned Sunny Days RV & Campground and worked as a realtor, always helping others find a place to belong.”
The organization further revealed, “We are heartbroken, but find comfort knowing he is in heaven with his mother. We are so grateful for Dylan, for the love he gave this community, and for the impact he leaves behind. We will carry his light forward and continue this mission in his honor.”
