Addison Antonio Carr, was born on April 16, 1987 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Addison was one of three children born to Carlton and Rhonda (Wright) Carr. Addison went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at Caromont Hospital, Gastonia, North Carolina.
The greatest love of Addison’s life were his two sons, Jaelen Carr and Christian Carr. Addison was very active throughout his entire life. He loved playing basketball and football as a youngster. The Carr Family relocated from Cincinnati to Virginia then to North Carolina after the passing of his father, Carlton Carr. Addison began his career with his father at the Central Intelligence Agency. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from Shenandoah University. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, Addison continued his community outreach and became the president of Shenandoah University’s Black Alumni Association. Addison took great pride and joy with finding ways to connect and forge relationships throughout the community.
Addison’s legacy reaches far beyond his accomplishments. He was a man who truly loved his family and showed compassion to others. Addison would give the shirt off of his back if it meant that it would lighten another person’s load. His thoughtfulness and empathy made people want to surround him. You can always picture him at the grill making sure there is enough food for everyone to enjoy and fellowship.
Addison leaves to cherish his memory mother Rhonda Carr, sons Jaelen and Christian Carr, sisters Gabrielle Carr and Myra Carr, nieces, nephews and his extended family and many many friends.
Addison’s father Carlton Carr pre-deceased him.
Addison was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, colleague and friend to all. He enjoyed cooking, singing, listening to music, and being around family. Addison was always there to help family and friends whenever they were in need. We take solace in the fact that he is in heavenly peace with his father Carlton Carr. As they continue to watch over us, we will honor their legacy in everything that we do.
