Carter Robert Couch was born on November 14, 2019. From the moment he was born to the day he went to heaven, he brought nothing but love, smiles and laughter to the world. Carter was a ball of energy that loved every aspect of life. He was caring, empathetic and the sweetest boy with a unique way of connecting emotionally with every person he came across. As the son of a baseball strength coach, he loved coming to the stadium to hit, throw and “workout” at daddy’s office. Hours upon hours were spent watching, playing and sharing smiles at the baseball stadium. Whether he was hitting homers, playing cars, reading or dancing, he did everything with a smile on his face. His laugh was contagious, and it would immediately brighten your day. He was deeply loved and showed his love by giving high fives, knucks and big bear hugs.

Carter started experiencing seizures he was 1.5. He was diagnosed with epilepsy and bravely fought off episodes over the past year. He went home to heaven on June 28, 2022 from complications with epilepsy. While we miss our little boy terribly, and the grief is beyond measure, we have hope and faith that we will see our smiling little boy again in heaven. We are humbled to honor Carter’s life and legacy with y’all as part of the November community workout. We simply ask that you think about our Carter throughout the workout and smile as big as you can while “running the bases” because that’s how Carter would do it. For those of you who are able, we’re asking that you consider a small donation to Carter’s epilepsy foundation page. Their mission is to lead the fight in overcoming the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures. We hope that one day we will help find a cure so that no family has to endure what we are going through. I challenge you all to #CtheGood in the life that you have—life is too short not to. Carter saw the good in every day and in everyone. He found the good because he looked for it. Y’all should do the same! –@mcouch15
