Roy Samuel Cartin passed away on March 31, 2020 after a courageous battle with lymphoma. He was born April 9, 1946 to the late Norton Samuel Cartin and Lorena Wise Cartin. He was known for the quality of the numerous homes he framed in and around Lexington County and the midlands. His precision workmanship was his trademark. He loved what he did and taught many of his young workers the art of building a good home. He loved new trucks and restoring old trucks to their original beauty. In his early days, he loved racing go-karts and anything that went fast. He will always be remembered for his strong work ethic, trustworthiness, dependability and honesty.

He is also survived by a sister, Mary Ann (Ron) Day; brother, Lavern (Alva Deen) Cartin. He was predeceased by brothers, Dempsey Lee and Harold Cartin.
