It is with great sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of James Allen Carr, who departed this world on January 19, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on March 28, 1963, in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, James lived a life full of adventure and love, ultimately finding his home in Cornville, Arizona. Where he made a massive impact on the community while helping with non emergency medical transport.

James, a proud veteran of the United States Army where he served from May 13, 1980, until February 11, 1982, exemplified the spirit of dedication and commitment, a trait that carried over into his day to day life. Married to the love of his life, Dina Lewenkamp, he cherished every moment he spent with her. James is also lovingly remembered by his mother, Annita Francis, step father Darrell Francis. Siblings: Felicia Smith, John Henry Carr 2nd and Jason Carr. also his sons: James Carr jr, Christopher Carr, Kyle Carr, and Jeremy Monson. also grandchildren: McKenzie, Mckayla, Brittney, Lucy, Elijah, Tucker, Christopher Jr. and Scarlett and numerous aunts uncles and cousins. James was preceded in death by his father: John Henry Carr and Sister: Janice Marie Carr.

 His legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

An avid fisherman and passionate outdoorsman, James approached life with enthusiasm and an unmistakable zest for adventure. He was known for his infectious laughter and generous spirit, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In honoring James’s life, friends and family will gather for a celebration of his journey on a date to be announced at a later time, where we will share stories, laughter, and memories that reflect the vibrant life he led. There will be no formal services in Arizona.

Following his wishes, James will be cremated, and his ashes will be scattered at his home in Arkansas a place he cherished. As we remember James Allen Carr, we invite all to join us in celebrating a life that was truly lived to the fullest—a man who loved deeply, laughed often, and lived adventurously. His spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
