It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we remember and honor the life of Jahad “Hoddy” Carter of Plainfield, New Jersey. His passing has left a profound void in the lives of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his loss is deeply painful, the love, laughter, and memories he shared will live on forever.
Jahad was more than a friend—he was family to so many. Known affectionately as “Hoddy,” he carried a presence that was impossible to ignore. He had a natural ability to bring people together, keeping bonds strong and spirits lifted even in the toughest times. His sense of humor was unmatched, the kind that could fill a room with laughter and leave everyone on the floor. Those moments, full of joy and authenticity, will forever be cherished.
To his brothers—Dev Louie, Ason Unique, Chubb Marley, and Moddy Muhammad—Jahad was a day-one, a constant, and a true pillar. He celebrated their wins, spoke truth when it was needed, and stood firmly beside them through every chapter of life. He was someone who made sure you knew when he was proud of you, and someone you could turn to for guidance, support, and real conversation. His loyalty ran deep, and his love for his circle was undeniable.
Jahad’s bond with his family extended beyond blood. To his cousin, Titi Carter, and to all who called him brother, he was a source of strength, wisdom, and unwavering support. He wasn’t just part of the group—he was the glue that held it together.
A student of Union College in New Jersey, Jahad carried himself with both confidence and heart. Whether debating sports—like his loyalty to the Steelers—or simply sharing everyday moments, he brought energy and connection wherever he went.
“Baseville” and the wider community will feel his absence deeply. Jahad’s impact cannot be measured in words alone—it lives in the people he uplifted, the laughter he created, and the loyalty he showed.
Though he is no longer physically here, his spirit remains alive in every memory, every joke, and every bond he helped build.
Rest easy, Hoddy. You are deeply loved, forever missed, and will always be a part of your brothers.
