March 15, 1938-January 7th, 2024 (age 86)
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Arthur Lewis Carr, born on the 15th of March, 1938, in Hardin, Montana. A man of many talents and an endless source of wisdom and joy, Arthur spent his 85 years creating a life full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. As George Herbert once said, “The best mirror is an old friend,” and Arthur was indeed that mirror reflecting the best of us all.
After getting married on the 2nd of April, 1960, Arthur embarked on a lifelong journey of love, growth, and camaraderie. He found his professional calling in the aerospace industry, serving as an Inspector/Consultant, and retired from Thiokol in 1993. However, Arthur’s true passion lay in the simpler joys of life. He was a devoted grandfather, always ready to play with his grandkids and share stories of old. Arthur was the family’s animal whisperer, with an innate ability to connect with every creature he met. He found solace in the art of cooking, always ready to share his latest culinary creation. Even his love for watching boxing and buying lotto tickets spoke volumes of his adventurous spirit. Arthur was a well-rounded individual, having formerly been a dedicated member of a bowling league while living in San Diego, California. In the words of Arthur Ashe, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Arthur’s life was a testament to this quote, as he truly made the most out of every moment.
Arthur is survived by his granddaughters Brittnee Roskelley and Sommer Normandy, daughters Brittnee Roskelley and Kathy Olson, sister Brittnee Roskelley, and grandson Kevin Normandy.
Arthur was preceded in death by his father James Carr, mother Emma Carr, spouse Jean Pearson, and grandson Ryan Ault.
Remembering Arthur is not about mourning his death, but rather celebrating his life. To honor his memory, we encourage everyone to leave their cherished memories and upload photos of Arthur on the memorial page. After all, there is no better way to keep his spirit alive than through shared stories and pictures, showcasing his unique life and the joy he brought to so many. As we bid farewell to our beloved Arthur, we remember another quote, this one by Helen Keller: “What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” Arthur’s love, laughter, and memories will forever remain a part of us.
