Carter, CJ as his friends called him, loved to play tennis, go hunting, and playing and listening to music.  He just completed his first semester at UW Eau Claire and was aspiring to be a music teacher.  CJ had many other interests including watching Ghost Adventures, scary movies, all Wisconsin sports, playing board games with his family and he recently learned how to play racquetball.  He also had a long-time interest in vehicles including trucks, and admiring high end vehicles and eating all, and only the blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers.  Carter had a curious mind and always asked the best questions about the world around him.  He and his wonderful bear hugs will be missed tremendously. Survivors include his parents, Keith and Janet Hilts; sister, Jeanne Hilts, brother, Casey Hilts; grandmother, Joanne Berg; godparents, Bryan (Michelle) Hilts, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, along with other relatives and friends.
