Last year, he presented three public exhibits and now has art on display in 8 states.

More than anything, Carter loved spending time with his family, friends, and special supporters.  Oliva Miller and Conner DeZarn were they best BFFs a boy could have.  Carter was loved by many and shared immense love in return.

Carter was the beloved son of Billy and MaryLee (Perry) Underwood of Lexington.  He was the grandson of Larry and Gail Underwood of Campbellsville; Dr. Larry Perry of Whitley City; and Margaret Lambdin (deceased) of Corbin, Kentucky.  He is survived by great-grandparents Flossie Perry and Dr. H.A.
