The funeral arrangements have been set form the Central Texas veteran who died after a wreck in East Texas on Sunday. 

The Texas Department of Public Safety said Robert Carter died on his way to the hospital. The wreck happened between Tyler and Longview. 

The Central Texas Veterans One Stop honored Carter where he spent his last two years counseling, praying, and providing moral support to veterans.

Workers placed a wreath over his door to pat their respects.

The visitation service for Carter will be at the OakCrest Funeral Home at 4520 Bosque Boulevard in Waco on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
