To the family, friends and love ones, it's my Sincere Condolences to you. I remember the first time seeing you play Litman gym, if he even got on the court it was hard for his team to lose, 3 on 3 , 5 on 5, I learned a lot from him, he always kept a smile even when he was playing basketball. I saw you at the MARATHON gas station on 82, about 2 months ago, I remember asked if you , let's run it back" You replied if they my age group. Keep running, I'll see you on the other side

My deepest condolences to the Carter's family

To the entire Carter family, and all who loved him, you have my deepest sympathies and i pray that God comforts all of your thru out this most difficult time!

Pogo man, I don't know where to start. You shocked us all especially Zake and I. When you left on Thursday June 6 it was like you normal, see y'all in the morning, nothing different or out of character. You were a faithful brother to your brother, you never complain, you just showed up every morning. You and I made a pack, you said it's just us and if you promise me you will take our brother home with you I will be there to help. Every trip to Dublin or wherever Zake had an appointment you drove us there, not without laughing and talking about the good Ole days we shared.I can't see what tomorrow will bring but for now My heart hurts like crazy. I will as long as I am able continue to love and care for Zake just like we promised each other. The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and explained. You left.... And forgot to tell my heart how to go on without you. I will always remember and love you, My Forever Brother. Joseph( Buster, Pogo) Carter

My favorite cousin Pogo I will miss you so much sitting around the card table talking trash to each other. You always make me laugh. Take your rest. I can see you and Charlie now fishing and talking trash to each other. Love you always Ruby Carter.

My Uncle Pogo....You were the absolute BEST Uncle. So generous, funny, a radical "fa SURE", smoothe and oh so LOVED. You were such a great storyteller. YOU were the highlight of EVERY Sun dinner in Ty Ty....when you spoke, we all would get quiet, lean in to listen and eventually bursts into laughter, even moved to tears.

I can remember cheering you on in the stands at TCHS and ABAC with so much pride and excitement. When your name was called in the starting line-up, "at guard, #32 from Ty Ty, Ga, Pogo Burns," we would go wild as we stood and clapped. I can still see you shootin' those jumpers from ANYwhere on the court.... "whoop" we would say as the ball fell through the nets. At the end of the nights, your stats were always double digits. YOU were OUR local NBA star.

#32, many of us after you wore # with such pride because YOU were OUR superstar Uncle....and the REALEST of them all. You kept it 100 'bout EVERYthing. THANKS for the many memories and the support you gave to our family. I just wish for ONE MORE ime, I could hear a few more stories, take a few more pictures and hear you talk trash at the Spades table. It's never "gonna" be the same without you Uncle Pogo...NEVER. We won't just miss you some of the time, we will miss you ALL of the time. I love you. ~#32 Lady Devils Guard, Tracie

"If when you give the best of your service, Telling the world that the Savior is come, Be not dismayed when they do not believe you; He understands, he'll say, "Well done." Refrain: Oh, when I come to the end of my journey, Weary of life and the battle is won; Carrying the staff and the cross of redemption, He'll understand and say, "Well done." With outstretched hands and open arms, on behalf my mom Cookie, my sister Shun, and myself Tasha, I extend to my family our most sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of Pogo, better known to my granny Mrs. Mae Lee and to us as Buster. It is our most earnest and solemn prayer that God continues to keep his loving arms around all of us and his dispatching angels encamped around us as we mourn his passing, but celebrate his life. From all the stories that have been told about him, he was and will always be an outstanding man. Living next to Mrs. Eva Ruth affectionately known as Grandma, for over 30 years of my life before Granny went on to glory, I got a chance to witness him first hand, and He will truly be missed. His road was getting bumpy, and his hills were unexpectedly getting hard to climb, so on Monday June 9th God came to him at his bedside and whispered "Peace be thine. You've done all the tasks I've given to you, and completed all that I have assigned. Come on up a little higher my child, for now this is your time. I know this was unexpected, but it's time for you to fly away. Remember in the Bible I've written, for no man knows the day." My continued prayers are with everyone as this new navigation of life now ensues. I love everyone of y'all! ~Humbly and Respectfully Submitted, The Wallace & Acree family Cookie, Willie, Shun, Tasha, Pastor T-Jay, Doll, Tajhe', & Nako

I had the honor to intimately know Joseph "Pogo" Carter the child, and Joseph "Pogo" Carter the man. As children, 13 years old, we and our classmates played basketball during our lunch break at Wilson Elementary and High School. Pogo and I played basketball together during our senior year at Tift County High School. We played basketball together for one year at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Pogo was very good at his craft! He went on to play basketball at Valdosta State University for two more years. Pogo received untold numerous awards and accolades. He was the creme de la creme. Sometime after playing his last college basketball game, Pogo visited me in Atlanta. And yes, we had to attend a Saturday night Atlanta Hawks game. The next morning, a friend invited us to church. That is where Pogo and I found The mighty God of Jacob - Israel, Jesus, the Christ! On that day, we were moved by the power and mystery of God. On that Sunday morning, we were transformed into men. Instantly, childish things were made secondary to us. God Almighty showed Pogo his mysteries, secrets, and dark secrets of the rulers of the world in high places. And charged Pogo to warn His people. As a man honoring his charge, Pogo was once again the creme de la creme. He was faithful to the mighty God of Jacob - Israel until the day that he died. So with great anticipation, I look forward to seeing my brother and friend again in the first resurrection, where the second death has no power. But we shall be priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reign with Him for a thousand years. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord God of Israel for the life and journey of Joseph "Pogo" Carter. Amen

To my friend, my basketball teammate and my brother in Christ. You reached the highest of high in high school basketball, you stood on the shoulders of many great athletes and you seen the mountain top. And with all your achievements, your greatest of them all was your love for your Mother and family. Your life was full with love great gratitude to everyone you encounter. You will always be a role model to me. Thank you for being my friend. I will always love you. Friends forever, Dewey Reddick
