Kevin Ebert Carr, a talented CNC machine operator known for creating remarkable works with his hands, left this world on January 19, 2026. Born in Lancaster, Ohio, on November 11, 1970, Kevin's spirit was as unique as the creations he crafted throughout his life. He seamlessly intertwined his passion for machinery with an unyielding love for the outdoors, often finding solace in nature's embrace.

With every journey crafted through the corridors of life, Kevin held dear the memories of family gatherings, echoing laughter, and adventures that spanned distant landscapes. His heart swelled with joy during truck and tractor pulls alongside his father, Harold E. Carr, whose absence now leaves a void in Kevin’s legacy. He shared an enduring bond with his family, particularly enjoying visits to the Fairfield County Antique Tractor Show, where the warmth of nostalgia enveloped him.

Family vacations stand as pillars of cherished memories; none more vivid than the three-week expedition across California and Utah—a journey filled with laughter and discovery that would last a lifetime. Yet, even in days spent on his grandparents' farm, Kevin found clever ways to escape the labor of bailing hay, showcasing not just his ingenuity but also his vibrant personality and sense of humor.

Surviving him are his devoted mother, Gladys Lorean (Poling) Carr, and his sister, Lisa K. (David E.) Orahood, and several step nieces and nephews. Kevin’s life serves as a testament to the joy found in simple moments, the connections forged through shared experiences, and the impact of a unique soul who cherished nature. Though he has departed, the echoes of his laughter and the brilliance of his creations will forever linger in those who knew him.

Caring Cremation has taken place through the Frank E. Smith Funeral Home and Crematory. Online condolences can be made at www.funeralhome.com
