Robert M. Carr Obituary

We won't forget the brave men and women who volunteered to protect and serve USA. Prayers for peace in your hearts and minds on this difficult day. We are Forever grateful . Just Know that they are at peace in Heaven (a choice they knew might possibly happen when signing up)....and one thing for sure.. He would only want you to live your best life...and a happy one. God Bless you, yours and all families who miss someone.

May God bless this soldier's family. We posted Sgt. Carr's photo and information on our facebook page to honor and remember his service and sacrifice to our Nation. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Rob, Eight years have passed. So much has changed, but the hurt and pain we felt back then still remains the same. We will always have that emptiness you left deep in our hearts. Our only hope is that by the grace of God we will be with you some day. Love, Dad, Cathy & Family

Thank you for your support in honor of our son! It's people like you that remind us of the goodness in this world. We continue to standby and pray for all of our military personnel and their families! May God bless you all, for all that you do!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and to also let the Carr Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one, Robert M. Carr US Army Sergeant. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Another year has gone by. We still cant believe you are gone- our family will be forever changed. Heaven must have needed a hero, so God called you home, but you will always be our hero here on earth, and we miss you so much! You are always in our hearts, always in our thoughts, and always words on our lips! You will never be forgotten!
Sadly missed- Dad, Cathy and family

Still Remembered and Respected. My best to to Sgt. Carr's family.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Robert M. Carr:
Always remembering Robert. "Some gave all."

Rob, It was 5 years ago today that our life changed forever. We always thought we would see you again, talk to you again. Just to hear your voice and see your smile...... A part of us died with you and a part of you lives on with us. So much has changed in 5 years that we wish you could have seen, especially the new additions, little Matt, Addie, Carson, and Noah. You would have been the best Uncle Robbie ever. We really miss you son.

Love and miss you forever
Dad and Cathy

Well Rob, you would have been 27 years old today. Not a day goes by that we dont think of you or speak your name. The pain and the sorrow never really goes away. We go on with our lives, and know we will see you again someday, but things here will never be the same. One day you will be waiting in heaven with arms wide open to welcome us home! We all miss you so much, you were the glue that held all the kids together. Your purpose on this earth was to fulfill and maintain that mission, and you succeeded. You are a hero to us in more ways than one! We miss you so much, and wish you could be here to celebrate your birthday with us! We love and miss you! We set off small hot air balloons at the cemetary in your name and made a toast to you. Love you!! Dad and Cathy

Just an average night thinking of you and listening to every song that has to do with this war and every song that you used to listen to. I dont know what it is Rob, I just cant get over this hill. When you first left us, I did everything i can to keep my mind off of losing you. As the days went by the more the hurt was. Im in the middle of this hill and Im just stuck. I know I lost you, but I dont want to accept it. I have faith that I will see you again, but I cant get over that you will never be here with us. Every Holiday I feel guilty for enjoying it because you arent here. and You loved Holidays. So many times I want to call you and tell you something, but Im quickly reminded that I cant. I go up to the cemetary but I never talk like i used to, whats the point? Its not you there.. Everytime I pull into the cemetary I haver flashbacks for the funeral. SO many people were there for you. People were sitting in their yards holding flags and signs and saluting. You have always been my hero, but now your all theirs and Im so proud of you. Rob, youd think that because we were taking away from each other 2 years too soon, that Id be used to not talking to you, Its harder. because now its not like after 5 years I can see you or after I turned 18.. Theres never an after. Ur already gone.. When i turned 18 thats what i thought of.. that if u were still here id be able to see you and talk to you. I dont know Rob, you always understood me. You never judged me, you would tease me alot tho but thats what brothers do.. I always knew that ud be there to have my back, weather i was right or wrong, you were there behind me. I miss you more than words will ever be able to explain. Its nights like these exspecially that i wish you were here to talk to. You know how you would always ask me to watch WWE and tell you who won... Well since then, i havnt been able to watch it, I have no one to talk about it with. All the times I was mad when ud body slam me or use me to try new moves.. well id do anything to have a day like that again. Theres so much i regret, but you knew I always loved you and I will always love you and continue to look up to you. I want you to be proud of me while your looking down. I love you 'The Rob' ... No one can take you from me now, its just hard to grasp that you arent here.

I love you no more or no less because my love is endless... You are my big Brother and I will always cherish our memories and keep ur spirit alive. You are the best brother and it sucks you not being here. I miss you so much.

Thank you Sgt. Robert Carr for your service and honor. I have never met you, but know that your beliefs and values represent the good of America. I have met your parents though, and I see a love and respect that will live forever.

Respectfully,

Doug Foley

Not a day goes by that we don't think about you! We love and miss you dearly! Love Dad, Cathy and family

Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending.

In memory of Rob today on his 26th birthday. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. You left such an impression on our family,community and country with your unselfishness and great personality. We have so many people still approach us with their sympathies and sincerest regards. You are a true American Hero..... real hero's are never forgotten.
We love you and miss you more every day!

Mt Heart and Prayers go out to the family to day. My Grandson Brandon Lewis is over fight now for our country but I no Robbie is with him keeping him safe for us. Robbie was a close friend of Brandons and I no he feels the same our thoughts with you May God Bless you always. The Rehburgs and the Lewis family

3 years ago today, God called you home and our lives haven't been the same since. We think about you every day and will never forget the amazing person you were. You made everyone smile, because of your giving heart, personality and great smile! We have heavy hearts today, but have hope that we will see you again. God called you home first to be the guardian angel for those of us left behind. We love you and miss you dearly and know we will see you again someday. The song, A Soldiers Heart was dedicated to you and the verse "no hills too steep" reminds us to move onward. God has provided us peace and comfort knowing you are in His arms now..... safe, no more hurting and no more of lifes trials. We love you and miss you more everyday! Dad and Cathy

Everytime i look at this site my heart shatters into a million pieces. Three years is coming up, but i still feel all the pain like it was yesterday. Hearing the news and falling to the ground, I will never stand the same again. A part of me died with you. Tho you are always and will always be in my heart, it still feels empty. No one will ever fill the emptiness and no one can ever heal this hurt. There are good days where i can talk about you and be okay. I can smile and talk about memories. But there are bad days where all i can do is listen to songs that remind me of you and just sit alone and cry. The bad days are starting to outweigh the good days. Everyone says time will heal all wounds. I dont believe that. Time makes it worse. Every single day i wake up knowing i wont be able to talk to you, i wont be able to see you. Everyday im reminded you were taken away from us way to early. Its hard to look back when we were little. we always thought itd be us 5 Carr kids. There will always be us 5, but there will always be one missing. The one who held us together, the one who brought us all back together. I feel you everywhere i go. i know im never alone because you are always here with me, but its not the same. I cant talk to you and get a response.. I just cant grasp that your really gone. I dont wanna believe it, i just cant believe it. No tears, no smiles, no wishes, no prayers, nothing is going to bring you back. Not even for a single day, single hour, single minute, or a single second. Everyday is a constant struggle. Its hard to hold myself together and be strong but i know thats what i have to do, and i know thats what you would want me to do. You brought faith back into my life, You brought the family hope, hope that we will see you again. There hasnt been a single day that we dont talk about you, or something reminds us of you. You will always be in my heart, We will always keep your spirit alive. I miss you so much, I miss you more and more every single day. I love you with all I have.

i still miss you each and every day robbie. you may of only been a step brother but your still my brother no matter what. & my tattoo reminds me that you'll be at my side everyday for the rest of my life. i love you & miss you

Dear family and friends.

Let me start by saying thank you for the service of your son in the United States Army. He gave everything for his country and for that I am thankful.
Today is a very sad day for me as well as i know everyday is a sad day for you. Todays date for me is December 8, 2009 and i was online trying to find out how to get a hold of Rob as i've been trying for some time. And today my heart grieves for the news that i've found and never expected. My name is Greg Seely I went through AIT, Airbone School and even Ranger School with Rob we were roomates during all of our training.
We both were Sent to Korea but unfortunately were sent to different units. Your son and I became like best friends. I lost contact with him shortly after he deployed as I then also deployed from Korea to Iraq with my own unit. We both wished that we could have gone there together but that wasn't an option for us. I just want to express my deepest sympathy to you all. His sacrifice will not be in vein and i will always remember him as not just a great American Hero but also as a best friend of mine. Thank you so much.
Sincerely SGT Gregory Seely

If you have some pictures of Rob would you mind sending them to me at [email protected]

It's hard to believe two years ago today we buried our bravest soldier and son. You are loved and missed more each day.
Dad and Cathy

To the family of Sgt. Robert M. Carr:

i feel really bad about what happened and wish the best to your family.

I was looking for imfo. on my uncle Robt. Carr WWII belly gunner in a B-17. KIA over france1943.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Hey brother just wanted you to know that you are still in our thoughts. You will not be forgotten

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Carr!

May you find peace in knowing that Sgt. Robert Carr is still looking over all that he loved in life. My prayers are with those he left behind.

It's so hard to believe 1 year has passed since you've gone away. How life has changed. Our lives will never be the same without you. You will always be our HERO and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We love you and miss you more than words can say.

To the Carr family I'm so sorry for your loss, as a father of two
sons now serving in Iraq I can feel some of your grief. God bless
you all

Michael Hudak

P.S. I worked with Sgt. Carrs dad at Copperweld.

Nina I really had no idea how strong and amazing you must be for taking each day one by one..my sincerest condolences go out to you and the rest of Rob's family & friends. This page is a beautiful tribute to his memory

Merry Christmas, we all deeply miss you around for the holidays. Thank you for what you have given us my brother.

My heart still aches for Nina and the rest of Rob's family everyday. He was such a kind and funny person to have in your life.

<3 We will never forget you Robbie.

I never actually met Rob but I know Nina and my brother knew Rob. There are few days that pass that I don't think of Nina and Rob. When Rob died, he inspired my brother in ways he will never know. My brother looks up to and admires very few but Rob is one of his heroes. I can only imagine the pain that this has caused all of his family and friends. Please accept my true condolences. I regret not knowing this wonderful man.

Though I was never lucky enough to have met you, i feel like I know you so well. I know you are married to one of the most wonderful human beings who shares the same amount of love for you that I share with my husband, who I hope is up there having a beer (or 2 or 3) with you. Believe me when I say you will never be forgotten. Until all 4 of us can meet up for "Happy Hour" take care.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

A PROUD MARINE MOM

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

As the mother of a son (my only child) who is enlisted in the Army, I want to send my condolences.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Carr family in the loss of Robert. I did not know Robert, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Robert you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

SGT Robert Carr is truly an American Hero. He gave the ultimate sacrifice doing something he loved. I spoke to Rob at FOB Falcon about 2 weeks before I left Iraq in Oct. 2006. The last words I said to him were "Be Safe". I didn't realize that was the last time that I would see or talk to Rob. I have known Rob since he was a junior in High School. I know how bad he wanted to be in the Army. I was his recruiter. He was the first and hopefully the last soldier that I lost. My heart and thoughts are with Rob's family and friends.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

We are very sorry for your loss of Robert. Our son, Lucas Emch, was killed on March 2. We know there is nothing we can say or do to help, but please know we are thinking of you.
Julie and Wes Emch

My Heart and Love goes out to the Carr family!
Robbie was not my blood son, but he was my son. I will miss him with all my Heart, and he will always be remembered!

"He gave his life so that we, and others, shall be free."

We thought of you with Love today
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our Heart!!!!

Forever Love, mom Tammy

My deepest sympathy goes to you in this time of great loss. Please know that many, many others who did not know your Robbie, Sgt. Robert M. Carr, share in your grief. May your brave soldier be honored and remembered with all the respect due him, and may you be surrounded by the love and care of family and friends.

My Heart goes out to you all even though you didn't no me you no my grandson Brandon a very close friend of Robbies They came to my house many times Loved him very much will miss him dearly. God Bless You. you are in my prayers.

Sgt. Robert M. Carr
you are my hero
may god keep you in his arms forever.

I only remember those little boys that came to the fire station with dad. It seems like only yesterday but so much time has gone by. My heart go's out to you all. Robbie will always be with you. Keep the memories alive.
Luv ya

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

MY HEART BREAKS FOR EACH NEW NAME ADD TO THE LIST OF SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LOST THERE LIVES, TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HOLD CLOSE TO YOUR HEART ALL THE MEMORIES MAY THEY BRING YOU COMFORT

As the mother of another fallen soldier my heart breaks for the parents and loved ones of this soldier. I don't know the name yet but I am here to talk to if you need to. My son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III was killed in Samarra, Iraq on November 12, 2006 and would have been 33 on March 12. May God's healing love give you the peace needed at this time.
