James Robert (Jr.) Carr

James Robert Carr Jr., 59, of West Alexander, PA, passed away on Sunday, September 15, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on September 11, 1965, in Cleveland, OH, the son of the late Helen Ohler and James Robert Carr Sr., whom he was raised by. Shortly after his passing, his family had found his long-lost father Barney Cooper Jr.

James was a jack of all trades, he began his career as a United States Marine and later worked as a Truck Driver, Security guard, and for Waste Management.

He enjoyed going to Flea Markets, collecting Antique toys, Slot cars, Classic Cars, and trucks, listening to music on his record player, and of course a glass of Pepsi and a steak. 

He had the biggest heart, James would take the shirt off his back to give to someone in need. He would make sure everyone was smiling and laughing in the room with his jokes, there was never a dull moment with him around. 

James was the best Papa Jim to his grandbabies whom he loved more than anything.

James is preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his children Marc Corio Jr., Deanna (Chris) Petrell, James (Chelsea) Carr, Alayna (Jesse) Hamby, Maryann Carr, Marissa Carr, James (Marissa) Carr, Frances Keaveney-Lorince, and Eliza Keaveney-Lorince, 18 Grandchildren, a Brother Timmy (Susan) Carr, and long-lost siblings Todd Cooper, Kelly Cooper, and Holly Cooper Persuhn.
