A.E. Carr, a devoted husband, father and man of unwavering faith, passed away leaving behind a legacy built on service, hard work, and deep love for his family.

Guided by strong faith, A.E. lived with integrity, offering support and a steady presence to everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy lives on in the values he instilled, the love he gave, and the countless lives he touched.

He will deeply be missed and forever remembered.
