What a wonderful celebration today. Carter is a true inspiration and hero to us all. Seeing his strength and infectious smile in the face of such adversity was a lesson to us all. Carter is surely looking down on you and will always be your little angel. With love...the Braswell's
I just want to express the sorrow I am feeling over the loss of Carter. I know his grandma in Hot Springs and have kept up with him through her and Michael, as well as the caring bridge. You should all be so proud of carter and of yourselves. Everything possible was done for him and he was so brave. He left this world knowing how loved he was by so many. I am inspired by you all. I pray for God to give you comfort, peace and healing. But most of all, I wish you love.
On behalf of the Huntersville Fire Department and extended Huntersville Fire Department Family, I’d like to thank-you for allowing us to visit with your sweet little boy (and essentially take over the entire neighborhood – sorry about that) on February 8th.
We stated on that day when we swore Carter in as an Honorary Firefighter; that he was officially part of the firefighter brotherhood. Hoa, Ann and Drew you are also part of that brotherhood and part of our extended family. The brotherhood bond is always there and I am certain that Carter is hanging out with some real hero firefighters in heaven right now. In the fire service we NEVER leave anyone behind, so he was just passed off to the heroes up above. We feel certain that they were waiting for him when he arrived on that Thursday afternoon.
You may recall that on February 8 we arrived with many firemen – you may have noticed that many of those firemen brought their families with them as well. Those firemen and family members are here for you and always will be. Expect to see us again, frequently and in the very near future. Drew has over 80 big brothers and sisters now and he’s welcome to hang with us at anytime.
As the son of one of our firefighters said to his parents "don't be sad...Carter will get to play with Jesus…he is so lucky." We feel slightly comforted knowing that Carter is now laughing, smiling, playing and pain free in heaven.
I’ll leave you with one saying in the fire service, it’s only 3 letters but it means much more. RFB – that stands for Remember Fallen Brothers. We will NEVER forget Carter and his brave fight to stay well.
Honorary FF Carter Kevin Dang, rest in peace young brother – we have the watch from here.

To the family,
I'm so sorry to know that little Carter passed away. At this time I just want you to know I am thinking of you and pray you are comforted by family and friends who love you and Carter. I take comfort in the words of Christ: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29)
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
We have followed your journey from the very beginning ...you have all touched so many lives with your devotion and strength. Carter was one strong little boy and he will forever remain in the hearts of so many! We are praying for all of you! Sending all our love and prayers from the south!
Amy, Erik and Carlee Perrin
Hao, Ann, and Drew...nothing I can say can make this time any easier for you but know if you need anything even just an ear to listen I will be there. We followed Carter's journey and thought of you constantly. We love you all and you are in our prayers.
My family & I have followed Carter's journey via caringbridge. We are so sorry for your tremendous loss. We will continue to pray for all of you. I know that every time I see a garbage truck, I will think of your sweet Carter. Please know that Carter will live forever in so many hearts.
God Bless you all.
My condolences to the family of Carter. What a wonderful legacy was left by Carter. Although not spending much time with us, he left a mark of positivity, endurance, kindness, and love. He will be greatly missed and may your memories of him comfort you during this emotional time. There is a Psalm that comforts me during distressing times and I hope it does the same for you. It is the 34th Psalm stanzas 17-19 which read this way, "They cried out, and Jehovah heard; He rescued them from all their distresses. Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the hardships of the righteous one, but Jehovah rescues him from them all."
