We are extremely sorry for your loss. Rick was a very kind, caring, loving man with a great sense of humor. I have to share the funny memory from a few years ago at our Halloween costume party when he came from another yard with a mask on carrying a chain saw that was on to scare us. <3

Rick was a good friend and a great volunteer. I enjoyed the time we spent together on the 2006 election campaign where we first meet.
I knew Rick when we were young. His practical jokes were legendary, as was his love of animals.
Grieving the the loss of my very dearest friend!! My heart and prayers go out to his family.

My deepest sympathies go out to the whole family. I am so sorry. I have nothing but happy memories growing up with Rick and his family at Lake Shafer. Such adventures we had and I hold those memories close to my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
So sorry to hear of Rick’s passing….what a great guy.
My very dearest childhood friend. The funniest person i have ever known.. My heart is with the Carr family at this very difficult time.. You will be sadly missed and fondly remembered Rick….. I love you man….. Denny Robertson
We worked together at Red Lobster but more than that, he was a special guy. I have so many wonderful memories. I have never known a more compassionate and funny man in my life. I remember I would sometimes say, 'I don’t know, Rick, beats me,' and he would say, 'What? who beats you !?'
I will miss him forever. I just cannot understand this.
My heart goes out to all of us who are devastated by his passing.
