Carter Shane Joseph, 3, of Geneseo, IL, passed away on Saturday March 2, 2019, at OSF St. Francis Hospital, Peoria, IL. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday March 9, 2019 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Geneseo Community Center.

Carter was born on September 3, 2015, the son of Alexander and Kelly (Lichty) Joseph, in Greenville, SC. Carter was a spirited child who loved animals, bugs, and dancing. Carter was a rambunctious preschooler who attended First Lutheran Pre-School in Geneseo. Carter loved his big brother, Hudson, and followed in his footsteps daily. His fearless and tough demeanor melted away when he had a marker or paintbrush in his hand. In art, he found peace.

Carter is survived by his loving parents, Alex and Kelly, his big brother, Hudson, Geneseo, IL; grandparents, Tim (Lori) Joseph, LaPlata, MD, and John (Janice) Lichty, McAdoo, PA. The family is devoted to carrying on Carter’s love of art.
