Martin Maurice Carter, 58, Remembered for Devotion to Family, Humor and a Lifelong Career in Trucking
Martin Maurice Carter, born February 29, 1968, died November 7, 2026, at age 58.
An obituary published November 10 by Duncan Graves Funeral Home in Presque Isle, Maine, remembers Carter’s quick wit, generous heart and pride in family, even as Carter’s health declined.
Carter co-owned Carter Boys Trucking before founding Sam’s Transport, which Carter operated for many years on long-haul routes and local trips transporting potatoes around the county.
Carter cherished children Spencer, MacKenzie and Danni, and grandchildren Oliver and Phoebe, who called Carter “Grampy.”
Carter’s brother Daron and Daron’s wife Terry survive, along with extended family and loved ones.
Carter also wanted to acknowledge Sammi LaBelle, the mother of Carter’s daughters, and Jessica Jimmo and Sophie Foelix (Theriault), whom Carter helped raise for ten years.
Carter’s parents, Dennis and Marilyn, died before Carter.
Visitation will take place Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to noon at Grant Memorial United Methodist Church, followed by a noon service, committal at Southside Cemetery in Mapleton, Maine, and fellowship and refreshments at the Mapleton Elementary School cafeteria.
