Sherman Arlieus Carter was born on March 2, 1970, at Southside Community Hospital in Farmville, Virginia, to Gertrude Ann Carter. He graduated from Cumberland High School, and at an early age, joined Zion Baptist Church. Sherman loved his family and friends. You would hear him singing up a storm because he had a love for music and oftentimes, he made tapes and CDs for family and friends. He was known as “DJ Cool Breeze—The Spin Master”. His biggest joy was to make you laugh and would not stop until he had you laughing uncontrollably. Sherman loved all children and before they left, he would have his own personal nickname for them. For those that knew him, he was a cheerful giver and would pass out gifts to anyone that came into his mind. Though he may be gone from us, his memory will live on in the hearts of those that knew and loved him.
