Rex Heathcliff Carpenter, treasured son of Ben and Lauren Carpenter, passed away peacefully in his mother's arms on Thursday, June 19. Aside from his striking good looks and strawberry curls, Rex was known as the most joyful, smiling baby of the family. Every day of his life, he was cherished and delighted in. Rex will be dearly missed, especially by his older brothers, Calvin and Champion, and most of all his devoted big sister, Juniper, who so greatly loved to care for him. Rex was a true gift to his family, and our loss is now Heaven's gain.
A private graveside ceremony was held at Chardon Municipal Cemetery, surrounded by all his favorite people.
Arrangements are entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service. Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.burrservice.com.
