Carter Anson Ahlstedt, son of Bill Jr. and Judy (Anson) Ahlstedt was born April 22, 1975, in Plainview, NE and was baptized at Congregational Church at Brunswick, NE in 1975. He became a member of Zion Lutheran Church in Albion, NE in 2017. He attended Dist. #4 country school through the 5th grade. Carter then went to Neligh-Oakdale High School from the 6th to the 12th grade and graduated in 1993. After high school Carter attended college at Southeast Community College – Milford. He studied Diesel Mechanics and graduated in 1995.

Carter met the love of his life, Ann Choat in 2016 and they were married on September 2, 2017, at Zion Lutheran Church in Albion, NE. To this union Carter became an instant dad to son, Dalton and daughter, Brynlee.

Carter was a true farmer, enjoyed working the land and taking care of cattle. He was the kind of person that would take the shirt off his back for those he loved and even for a stranger. As well as being a jack of all trades. There wasn't anything he could not fix or build.

Some of his greatest passions were spending time with family and working on projects with his wife. Carter was the calm during a storm and the humor to his family and close friends.
