Michael John Decarter, 62 of Fayetteville, NC passed away peacefully at his residence on February 26, 2024, after a battle with cancer.

He was a good friend to many and always provided a helping hand when needed. He had a big caring heart and would always say, “don’t worry, it’ll be okay”! Mike had a vernacular for trains and recreating vintage model trains, classic fast cars, coins, ham radio communication, and curiosity with aviation. He will be deeply missed.
