Michael Carter Jr. was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and was a cherished member of the Carter family. As the brother of Michelle Carter, an Olympic gold medalist and American record holder in shot put, Michael was part of a family with a rich legacy in athletics.
Michael Carter Jr. was deeply proud of his sister Michelle's accomplishments. Michelle, who made history by winning the gold medal in shot put at the 2016 Rio Olympics, often spoke of the strong support she received from her family, including her brother Michael. The Carter family is known for their contributions to sports, with their father, Michael Carter Sr., being a former NFL player and Olympic silver medalist in shot put.

Michael's support played a crucial role in Michelle's journey to becoming an Olympic champion. His presence at her competitions and his constant encouragement were vital to her success. His passing is not only a significant loss to his family but also to the broader community that admired the Carter family's close-knit bond and collective achievements.
Michael Carter Jr. is survived by his loving parents, Michael Carter Sr. and Sandra Carter, his sister Michelle Carter, and other family members who will forever cherish his memory. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time as they grieve the loss of their beloved son and brother.
