Monday, December 19, 2016Carpenter was born Oct. 13, 1930, in Fallon. He graduated from White Pine High School in Ely and later married Roseann Slater. He purchased a ranch and moved his family to Elko in 1957, where they raised seven children.Democratic U.S. Senator-elect Catherine Cortez Masto called Carpenter “the definition of a public servant, someone who dedicated his entire life to serving Elko and helping his community grow and thrive. From Great Basin College and the Elko Convention Center to the creation of the payment in lieu of taxes law, John is leaving behind a tangible legacy, and Elko is a better place because of his single-minded devotion spanning so many decades.”Republican state Attorney General Adam Laxalt said Carpenter “consistently gave his all to the people of Nevada. I know the residents of Elko will forever be touched by all of the wonderful contributions he made to the community, and I extend my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones in this difficult time.”Others expressing their condolences include U.S. Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Assemblyman Elliot Anderson, D-Las Vegas, via Twitter.Carpenter was first elected to the Nevada Assembly in 1986.He was honored by the Assembly for his service in 2009.

Nevada has lost a true leader.”A funeral will be held at the Elko Conven...
