Raymond Carr

Raymond Carr age 81 of Warren passed away Saturday, October 11, 2025. Born Raymond Daniel Carr on January 5, 1944 to Raymond Draper Carr and Julia Carr (nee: Kanz) in Detroit, Michigan. Ray was instilled with a strong work ethic from an early age and went to work immediately after his High School graduation learning and keeping up with advancements in the skilled trades needed by the automotive industry with much of his work being as a Tool & Die maker. Raymond married his love Sandra on December 12, 1985 in Eastpointe, Michigan and they began a family that grew from children, to grandchildren and great grandchildren whom he was deeply proud of.
He enjoyed fishing, hunting and boating and was a life long bowler but was always open to new adventures, like learning to snorkel, on one of the many cruise vacations they took. Time revealed Raymond to be a man not just of deep inner strength but one also filled with a quiet compassion, bravery and grace that found peace and satisfaction in his faith group, giving from his well tended garden and through unknown acts of kindness like shoveling neighbors snow before they woke or cutting their lawn while they were away.
Ray is survived by his daughter Barbara (Tony) Brooks, 4 sons; Stephen (Heather) Carr, Michael (Wilma) Carr, Ray (Theresa) Carr and Robert (Christopher) Harris, 15 grandchildren and 11 (soon 12) great grandchildren.
