Kenneth M. Carr

Kenny was destined to be a badass. He graduated from Victoria High School in 1967, when he and his brother, Joe became mainstays in the flat track racing circuit around the state. After a few years of racing, breaking & fixing (repeat) motorcycles, Kenny had his first child, Billy in 1970. In 1973, he met & wooed his future wife, Denise & they married in 1978. Then the greatest thing happened in 1980; the best, most handsome, intelligent & charming baby ever was born; Jason was born that year and he was Kenny & Denise’s first child. Jeremy soon followed in 1982, when Kenny finally said he was done with the diapers and hung up the baby wipes for a career at BP/INEOS as an operator. Kenny was an active father & was highly involved in the boys’ schooling & extracurricular activities. Later in life he trained to be a pilot and when he wasn’t spotted flying around Houston or Victoria with Jason in their airplane or on his Captain America chopper hanging out with his friends at the office, he was likely doing a favor for someone.

Kenny became sick and passed within a couple months. He was surrounded by family at his bedside when he passed peacefully & quietly on Saturday, July 24th.

Kenneth is survived by his wife of 42 years, Denise Ryan Carr; sons, Jason Carr (Gillian) of Cypress, Billy Carr of Houston, Jeremy Carr of Victoria; sister, Patricia Halepeska (Robert) of Victoria; brother, Joe H. Carr Jr. (Marsha) of Victoria; grandchildren, Ella Carr, Ava Carr, Inka Carr, Ryder Carr, Emily Hancock, Christopher Carr and his great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Adeline Hancock.
