He was born on September 13, 1928 in Porterville, Utah to Conard and Manilla Carter.  He married his eternal sweetheart, LuDene Bowen, on August 3, 1949 in the Logan Temple.

Ivan and LuDene are the parents of 9 children, 33 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandson.

Ivan loved the beautiful Morgan Valley where he lived his entire life with the exception of the time he and LuDene spent serving an LDS mission in Cortland, New York.  They loved their time in New York and formed many lasting friendships. He has a great love for his Savior, Jesus Christ and has always been active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served in many callings.  Ivan and LuDene were grateful for the opportunity to serve in the Ogden Temple for 13 years.

Ivan raised his family on a small dairy farm in Morgan and a Five Generation Century Farm in Porterville where he worked along side of his children and taught them the value of hard work, respect, and integrity.   Ivan also served the Morgan community in various ways including 37 years driving a school bus in the Morgan School District.
