Carl Carr, Jr.

Carl Carr born August 17, 1949 and Passed away July 1, 2025. Carl lived a life defined by hard work, deep love, and a generous heart.

Over the years, Carl wore many hats, but it was his work as a carpenter and mechanic that he cherished most. His hands were rarely still-always building, fixing, or lending help to anyone in need. Whether it was helping in the hayfield or anything with his grand and great grandchildren, he was always there to step in and offer his help, never expecting anything in return.

More than anything, Carl loved his family, and his great-grandchildren held a special place in his heart, He found joy in their laughter and pride in their accomplishments, always ready with a smile, a story, or a hug.

Those who remember Carl will remember the undeniable bond he shared with his beloved wife, Shirley. Their love was something beautiful-enduring and full of life, anyone lucky enough to see them together will never forget the way they danced, especially their favorite: the two-step. They would glide across the floor like no one else, often dancing the night away as if time itself paused for them.

Carl Carr was a helper, a hard worker, a family man, and above all, a loving husband, father, and grandfather. His kindness, laughter, and deep devotion to the people he cared for will live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He will be deeply missed – but never forgotten.
