William H Carter V

William H. Carter V William was born on December 18, 1987 to parents Tanya R. Mills and William H. Carter IV. As a kid he was known as Pang to his parents and family, keeping this nick name into manhood. But to his loving father he was known most of all as his best friend. William attended the Philadelphia School System for three years until he moved to New York with his dad and attended the New York public Schools. Pang loved New York and always hanging out with his younger brothers. In September of 2000 his father and step mother decided to move their family to Burtonsville, Maryland. At that time Pang and his baby sister attended the Montgomery County School system. Pang had lots of friends and family who loved him dearly and he loved hanging out with his family especially to share a meal. Whether it was enjoying crab cakes with his Aunt Tanya, eating his Aunt Paulette’s Seafood Salad, having his Aunt Darlene’s home cooking, sopping up his Grand mom Ruth’s collard greens, or savoring his Aunt Ruby’s cakes and other desserts, Pang definitely appreciated great food. Even greater than his appreciation for food, however, was Pang’s passion for collecting top of the line brand name sneakers. He kept them on display in their original boxes and meticulously cared for them. He made a point to have the latest and greatest styles as much as possible and he wore them well with his own special style and swagger. He truly was “sneakerheadwilliams” as his face book username proclaimed. Pang loved hanging out with his two best friends Hansel Spann and TJ Moore, both of whom he called his other brothers. He had one true love in his life, Kasondra Bishop, who later went off to Bowie State College and still kept in close touch with Pang and remained a special friend. He leaves to cherish his memory, two brothers, Justin Carter and Tysheen Carter; one sister Nijah Retrique; his dad William Carter IV; one paternal aunt Tanya Wallace;one paternal Uncle Jimer Carter and cousins Jessica, Latoya, Darrell Jr., Sharell, Edward, Larry, and Kyree; two maternal aunts, Lisa and Sandy, and uncle Derrick; his step mother, Vivian Hagins, and as step relations, favorite aunts Myrtle Baldwin, Lisa Foster and Darlene Hagins; grandmothers, Constance Mills Debbie Carter and Patricia Hagins; and a host of other family, great aunts and great uncles, cousins and friends.
