"He was a wonderful artist," McClellan said. "He was the voice, he was the total package and we're trying to keep his legend [alive]."

Carter will be remembered by his two daughters, Dixie and Kaylee. The family set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and to bring Carter's body back from Houston to San Antonio for burial.

Carter was in the U.S. Army but it is unclear if he meets the qualifications for a military burial. His mother went on to say:

"He was a wonderful person, very loving and he loved our God very much," McClellan shared. "He had a Bible in his room, in the den, he had one in his truck. He gave to charities."
