John is preceded in death by a son, Clem Dwayne McCarter; a stepdaughter, Bonnie Shanahan; his parents, John and Nancy McCarter; and three brothers, Clem McCarter, Wilburn Eugene (Mogan) McCarter, and J.C. (Snook) McCarter.
John leaves behind his wife, Jean of the home, who he married Oct. 2, 1987; one daughter, Mary McCarter of Tahlequah; one son, David McCarter of Tahlequah; one stepson, Bob Hastings of Cookson; one stepdaughter, Suzanne Thibeault of Pleasant Hill, Mo.; one brother, D.J.

John was a member of the Elm Tree Baptist Church. He accepted the Lord at Cedar Tree Baptist Church and was baptized in 1973.
